Half of the book is about her struggle with the kitchen appliances, the shower, the lights, the door ... so yes, she is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Has she figured out how the washing machine works? Or is this the source of her frustration when the toddler throws food at her?

It´s only her first day at the job, so no washing machine problems just yet. And the whole porridge dilemma happened at her job interview.

Btw, I just poured myself some liquid encouragement. This book screams for a glass of red wine ;D

Hahaha. "Liquid encouragement" is a brilliant term.

:D
