You don't have to know how many square miles are in Idaho, you don't need to know what is the chemical makeup of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with. So if you know how to change a tire and that's all, that's good. But teach them by showing, by caring that they know these things
