What have you been the most naive about?

The necessity of home skills.

I barely know how to cook. I mess up my laundry almost every time. I can't sew up a torn pant leg. I don't know how to eradicate a stain. I would probably clean the floor incorrectly--if I ever tried to do it. I don't know what postage is required to send a letter. I've never assembled anything in my life. My organization skills are based on my mother first organizing the thing I own and then I follow that system. When a coupon says buy 3 for $10, I don't know if that means you must buy 3 to get the entire discount or if you only buy 1, the price will be discounted according to the ratio.

I've depended on my hard-working parents my whole life, and now, I underestimate the importance of my mother's skills. I live on my own, and yet, I still come home to her with laundry, torn clothing, an appetite for real food and stained shoes.

I wish I could force myself to learn but if my mother is always there, then my mind sees no need...because I'm naive.
