- My cousin Zviah pointed out that I got the whole idea from the Talmud, which says that every child should learn to read, learn a trade, and learn to swim.
- From Heather, I'm adding change a tire and pump gas
- Crick wants me to add grocery shopping. I'm just adding that to "cook a meal." While I think it's great for everyone to learn lots about produce, and my own kid works in our garden and accompanies us to the farmer's market frequently, I don't think it's absolutely necessary, beyond what one needs to cook the things one knows how to cook.
- From Devon, I'm adding vote, hold a baby, and make a budget.
- Another comment from Devon made me realize I had left out reading. Reading! Of course. It's one of the original three, after all.
