Yeah, I have tried to teach her a little bit about cars in the past, but to no avail. She came over while I was doing an oil change on the Jeep a couple weeks ago, and stood there throughout the process, following me around the car and asking questions, most unrelated to the car. I tried to explain a couple things to her or show things to her, but she would interrupt with another question unrelated to whatever I was telling her. Very nice kid, major ADD I would say (and I mean real ADD, not the kind of ADD people just use as an excuse for their kid). I had a hard time explaining to her what oil was, as she told me her dad doesn't change the oil on their car because it doesn't use oil, just gas. I explained to her that the car does have oil, but he probably takes it to a shop to get it changed, and tried to explain what the purpose is. No interest, just wanted to tell me her dad's car does have any oil in it, then went on telling me how much she likes lightning bugs. I'm good with kids, but this is a tough one to impart any knowledge to. And impossible to politely get rid of. I just try to be nice and keep explaining things whether she gets them or not ... maybe she'll pick something up. At least she's outside rather than inside playing video games.
