Worker

Mr. Trouble on Feet begged and begged to learn to mow the lawn this summer. I thought he would probably only be able to handle the flat parts of the yard, because we have some steep hills that require quite a bit of strength to maneuver, but during “Lawnmowing Training” with Dad, it was determined that he could in fact do the whole yard, and with his eyes on a sustainable income, he negotiated for a contract to be in charge of all the lawn mowing for the entire season. The two eldest siblings had no hard feelings about giving up the job. It was The Banana’s year for lawn care training, but it turns out the baton just skipped her.

Mr. TOF does a meticulous job. He’s efficient and thorough, and so exited to be working. And I’m happy that I have at least 8 more years of punctual lawn mowing ahead of me.
