Push or rider? Call Manuel Labor. He can play his Mexican Bagpipes to clean the place up.

It’s a battery mower to boot.
Both hilarious and sad at the same time.

Earlier today I changed a flat tire for some guy that had no clue.
Weird day..

Whoa..now the F words are flying..

The kid might be playing it smart. Maybe he’s stooging the old man:

KID: “I didn’t quite get that part; ya wanna show me again on the next time around?”

Gawd My son was mowing our lawn as soon as he could reach the handle. My daughter was his de facto babysitter as latch key kids and was doing laundry, starting dinner etc at age 12.

I started when I was 6. My 5-year-old brother and I each grabbed one side of the push-mower handle and mowed in a random pattern, while our dad watched, amused. Periodically, we laid down to see if we had done a good job.

We hadn’t.

A wonder any kid wants to learn any kind of work. Probably was late 1970s when my mother in law tried asking every kid on the two or three blocks nearby if they wanted to mow her lawn for money every week. Not one felt motivated to say yes.

Old cartoon of father giving his son a book as a present.

“Thanks, dad. Where do I plug it in?”

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

My daughter could competently drive a car and a tractor at 12. Now she’s 13 and can’t wait to get a license. All is not lost…yet

My then-16 year old son hit a tree root while mowing with a gasoline engine mower, and bent the blade from a long thin rectangle into an L.

My dad taught me how to mow the lawn.
I was so young I remember pushing UP on the handle.
Dad had to start it.

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..

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.
