I had to fire my manservant this weekend.
The neighbor boy that mows my grass did a pretty awful job (instead of moving the wagon, or the lawn chair, he just mowed a big circle around them). I was composed and called him up to come over because I wanted to instruct him in proper mowing technique, but his mom would have none of it. She said that I had received my money's worth. It was one of those phone conversations (me talking to his mom) in which you feel that nothing you said is being heard and the same thing is said over and over again from the other end. I explained I wanted to be a help and teach him how to do a good job. She said that it was good enough for what I was paying. I said that I wanted to be a help and teach him how to do a good job. She said that it was good enough for what I was paying. She said that it was good enough for what I was paying. She said I was taking advantage of her little 10 year old and that I should be ashamed of myself. I said it didn't matter that he is 10 years old, but I didn't want him to think that the job was done until it was done. She said that it was good enough for what I was paying.
I wrote a very kind two-page letter to my ex-manservant's mom this weekend. I told her that I hoped that she would see that I was trying to help. I told her that I hoped that my family could be a help to hers should she need anything in the future.
It was a sad weekend.
My 12 yr old neighbor kid mows my 1 acre parcel with a 60 inch zero turn like the one you have access to for $10 a week. All you can do is try. Sounded like you handled it great RB. Now just get out there and mow that lawn yourself. Wait, your kid is 4 and newly converted. Sounds like the time to teach him about the fields being white unto harvest.
Yes, I’m back to mowing it with my boys on my lap riding “my” 60″ zero-turn radius mega-grasswhacker. I enjoy doing it, but I really wanted to help Zach.
