When my son turned 13, he asked us to buy him a lawnmower for his birthday so he could cut lawns in the neighborhood and make some money.

One day he came home from cutting lawns and asked us what does it mean “if you cut more than 5 lawns a week we will bury you in the desert.” He unknowingly undercut the lawn care businesses and picked up all the business.

Exactly why the movie Hoffa, starts out showing a bunch of trucks getting torched.

He outdid me. I was threatened by union goons when I was 15 y/o, but never by a private business.

I'd tell him, "It means I'm going with you next time you go out, and I want to meet whoever told you that."

How did that turn out? If I were his dad, there would have been further conversations with the “men” who were talking with my son. Then, my perspective would have included Buster, my large German Shepard, and my friend, Smith & Wesson. Today, I would have first added my Bible...guess I’m mellowing a bit.
