The kind of instructions you’d write for a second grader.

[Repeat Offender]

Years ago, I bought a house from an elderly widow. Her husband had died the year before, and her daughter was making the widow move in.

I was always finding notes he had left for her...."Every x, y, z month change the filter for the water system. The filters are model 123, I left a box in the closet. I left the filter wrench - here. It should not be too tight for you loosen."

Detailed step by step instructions from a dying man who in life had taken care if everything to his elderly widow he was leaving behind.
