Vanity: so I'm sitting here watching my neighbor trying to teach his 16yr old son how to mow the lawn..

Posted on 07/13/2023 5:32:33 PM PDT by mowowie

It's ridiculous. The slacker has no clue. Now dad is screaming at hit while whiping the mower all around. We are doomed....

This is too much.
The father is semi hysterical, the kid is completely clueless like being taught brain surgery
Who’s fault is it that a 16 yr old has zero concept of back and forth..get the spots that you missed?
Ridiculous..

Dad taught me to mow, but there was nothing to start. Just push.

At sixteen, I had my own mowing business. It was expanding. However my trailer was stolen and I gave up. The cops never got anything or anyone.

Busted my dream for being a small business owner.

Whoa..now the F words are flying..

When the kids were little and I would be in the basement putting together the "some assembly required" Christmas presents, my wife would tell the kids that those were "Daddy Words. They help the little pieces go together better."

Paper route at nine (Mom lied to them, told them I was 12)
Also, stock boy on Sat and Sun (days), Dishwasher at a crazy Greek restaurant at night.
When I hit 12, man, I owned the neighborhood.

At 13, bought my Mom her first car, ‘67 Chevy Impala. Even taught her to drive it. By 14, well, that’s for a later post. Great stories there.

Times they are a changing!

Oh yeah, Dad would send me out for cigs and beer at the local store. (when I was 10) Never happen today.

“Could be an inattentive student.
Could be an impatient teacher.
You never know.”

Exactly. At least the guy’s trying. Blowhards abound.

” my wife would tell the kids that those were “Daddy Words. They help the little pieces go together better.”

We engineers would call that”screaming at inanimate objects”
It does work, trust me.

My grandmother bought me a brand new Sears Eager 1 lawnmower when I was 10 years old.
I should’ve known something was up with that one...

The slacker is not clueless, he has mastered strategic incompetence.

Exactly the same here on the granddaughters at around age 12.

Now the oldest one has her AA degree at age 18 and headed for university next month.
