Problem solved.

WINDSOR, Ont. -A son with scurvy because he thought he could survive on chicken wings and beer got two moms thinking they should write a book.
A guide to adulthood. A how-to book with things as simple as how to boil water and how to wipe your bum, and trickier tasks like tying a Windsor knot and managing your finances.
Kim Zarzour, a Windsor-born journalist, and author Sharon E. McKay packed all their tips into the 514-page book Good To Go: A Practical Guide to Adulthood.
It was one of McKay's sons who got scurvy but Zarzour said her own teenage son's attempts at cooking show the book is needed.

You mean you can't?
If the kid can barely take care of himself, how can he be expected to clean his homeless companion?!
LOL
Now if they can just teach the kids how to read...
Beat me to it!........
You mean you can't?
Of course you can. The fool obviously forgot to eat the celery sticks and blue cheese dip.
Problem solved.
ROTFL!
That would make a great commercial. Wish you could send it to them.
You can survive on ramen noodles and iced tea! What’s wrong with chicken wings? No vitamins?
"We'll start easy. Here's a box of chicken nuggets, go for it," Zarzour said recalling a classic case of confused cooking. "And of course he's yelling out: 'What's a cookie sheet?' I mean, how did I not remember to teach him what a cookie sheet was?" (!!!)When you fail this badly, you should write a book.Another exchange she recalled had her son, while following a recipe, asking: "What's a tsps?"
"What do you mean tsps?"
"It's spelled TSP."
"Teaspoon, honey."
</boggle>
"What do you mean tsps?"
"It's spelled TSP."
"Trisodium Phosphate dear, use lots...."
Sure you can! Just not low carb beer.
Exactly. I’ll betcha these are the same moms who picked their kids up every day at the bus stop three blocks from the house, and who sent them out to ride a training wheel bike after first armoring them in helmet, elbow and knee pads.
I take it none of you have tried to teach a teenage boy how to cook? They won’t listen and think they already know how if they can turn on the stove. My son can cook the basics, tuna, eggs, and spaghetti. Luckily, he lives with two other guys who are good cooks. I’m hoping they will teach him a few things.
I wonder how much honey he put on that batch of chicken wings.
A couple down the street from me have a boy who must be at least 16 yo because I have seen him driving with his mom in the car yet he is not allowed to cross the street by himself.
Huh??! If he'd had my chicken wings with kimchi, that never would have happened but someone too dumb to realise that beer is not a vegetable wouldn't understand that. LMAO!
