Good for you! They (wives and daughters ) are handy to keep around for use on the car

Why just last weekend my wife actually connected the wires to the replacement starter motor on the SDL while I was under the car holding the motor up. It is so much easier to wire it with the motor held vertically and then rotate it into position and install it that it was worth the pleading to get her out of the house! She actually enjoyed it and when I let her tuen the key the for the first time said she got a ton of satisfaction when 'her' starter kicked over! This is after a moment of panic before rememering the disconnected battery cable

My daughter is a 'girlie gear head' and loves working on the fleet. She has even swapped out the front drums for discs with me on the '57 Chevy!
Since she was three she has known the #1 Tenant of mechanical engineering
"Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosy" Once she learned that, everything else was cake!
