When I was young and would ask for help putting together a new toy, my dad would smile and say, “Ineptitude is not an attractive quality.” At the time, I didn’t truly grasp the meaning of the definition of “ineptitude”… I just knew that if these words came out of my dad’s mouth, it meant that I was putting together my new toy on my own.
