You probably shouldn't cut your kid's hair with a peeler
Peelers are for removing skin, not hair. They work fine on gingers.
Hey bud, if I wanted parenting advice I'd ask Grok!
My potatoes since I don't peel them because it's a pain in the ass and it wastes precious food and takes too long:
yup. I just use thin skin varieties and cut off anything grody lookin
Not here to brag, but my mom could peel tomatoes. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she had some mad skills.
Nevertheless I bet peeling tomatoes requires sharp tools!
Here's the crazy part! All of her knives were dull, best she could do was use the crappy sharpener on the electric can opener!
I see, you weren't actually insulting her!
You should be here to brag. That's impressive
it's really not that hard once you know the secret.
Well, what's the secret?
I think the trick is parboiling them, and dunking in an ice bath. The skin just falls off afterwards.
Thank you for taking the time.
yeah that's it

Your mom's potato looks like a butt plug.
No, her butt plug looks like a potato.
