This kid is safer than me when I mowed lawns as a kid. I never wore safety goggles. I never saw adults having a lawn business when I was a kid. Those jobs were all either done by the home owner or by a neighborhood kid. Sign of the times...
Can you imagine the headlines if Frank had darker pigmentation.
Back when George W Bush had had the surge initiative in the Iraq war, Leftwing media outlets who had been making a huge deal about the rising death toll every night were faced with a quandary. The “surge” was causing the death rate to go down. But this might be interpreted as a Republican doing a good job...so they had to find a way to spin it...and one of the ways they tried...I kid you not...was a sob story about poor coffin makers in Iraq who were getting less business due to the reduction in deaths.
Do may eyes deceive me, or are parents stopping kids from mowing the lawn?
I’m 64 years old and walk/mow my own own lawn in Georgia, but I have yet to see a kid in my neighborhood here out mowing a lawn.
Are kids still being being raised with an appreciation for work? Or did Barkie outlaw that too. I don’t know, but I’m curious what’s happening out there.
How about Canada, Judy?
I have a scar on my left palm from when my mom let me cut the grass w/ a push mower when I was five. Probably not the best idea, but both mom and I learned a little about laws of physics and how accident prone I was (many cuts/stiches throughout childhood... it’s called “ADHD” nowadays).
God bless mom: we were never on a leash, we learned our own limits, and yes, sometimes bad things happened, but for each of those events a lesson was learned.
Meanwhile, the idiots like this NYT pu$$y who think that lawn mowers are a menace to 10 year olds would have those precious children chemically and physically mutilated to change their sexual identities. THAT is scary.
The little time I am in the city, I don’t even see kids playing outside, let alone mowing a lawn.
Today’s kids get out of bed, go to daycare/school, come home later than they used to, then either go to an organized sport or watch tv/sit on the computer.
On the weekends they run errands with parents, go to friends’ houses to play computer games, or visit with the parent with whom they no longer reside. It’s heartbreaking.
P.S. I also am 64....as of today.
Happy birthday, Judy!
Looks like there are a lot of kids who need to learn how to play and get used to unstructured events.
Computers and the internet have caused as much trouble as they have improved certain things.
You know, the more I think about it, the prouder I am that Trump brought this kid to the White House to mow his lawn.
There's something so noble about this. And when you see Trump giving the kid a high-five. Now that's a President who is a LEADER!
That kid symbolizes the American Dream. If the millenials get jobs and learn to work the great American system, that's all we need to worry about. MAGA will be fulfilled when the impediments to the American Dream are thrown out, taxes some down -- it's all part of returning America to what it was when we were young.
Today at the UN, Trump spoke to kings... but he has never lost the common touch.
