When I was ten a neighbor lady called my mom to see if any of us kids could shovel her driveway for her. So, my mom sent us over. Four of us with shovels in hand.

We got over there and she didn't just have snow on her driveway but 1 1/2 inch ice on a driveway that was probably 100 feet long and 8 feet wide. The ice was there because she had neglected to get someone soon enough after the first snowfall. So we were really tackling at least 3 or 4 snowfalls.

We got to work clearing the snow and all the ice. It took us at least 3 hours. And you know what our pay was? 5 bucks to be split 4 ways.

She did take pity on us and served us some hot chocolate.

If I were in NJ I would have owed the state $445 for the privilege.

Did she serve the hot chocolate with those little marshmallows on top? ‘Cause if she did, then it would have been totally worth it. ;-)
