Read an article that said the kid sent a similar letter to Obozo and got some form letter back, and no invite to do the job.
That took too long, I’d have thought we’d read this on Friday before FX finished the job!!!!
I saw a tweet about liberals being OK with 10 year olds making “gender” decisions but not mowing lawns.
Very cool. Thank you.
I agree. Glad they did.
Good. This is family apprenticeship.
You may not work for someone in the trade, but you’ll know a lot about doing your own projects.
My grandfather taught me quite a bit about carpentry, electrical wiring, and plumbing.
It’s not tradesman level knowledge, but as I said, you can accomplish a lot of your work around the house without having to call someone in all the time.
Should have used a manual mower, harder to use and cuts down on carbon footprint—than what would the NY Slime/Crime have said?
Who didn’t mow lawns at age eight or nine or ten ?
But transsexual at 10 is OK?
I meant what’s that about not being able to swim. Several people mentioned that. I have no idea what its referencing.
I knew someone did. Congratulations!!!
Hahah, I told my husband the other day they would come up with a bs story like this.
As predicted!
I have fond memories of learning carpentry from my grandfather. He helped my dad upgrade his house with additional rooms built in the basement and attic for me and my siblings. That experience helped me in getting part-time jobs during high school in construction, and has served me well remodeling my own homes and having my daughters help and learn from me.
Now I'm showing my granddaughters tips about building and making things with tools. Kids are never too young to learn how to do work. Plus I make sure they learn safety when using tools, despite what that fool reporter says you can teach kids to be safe.
I was steering the cultivator following the Ford tractor my uncle was driving in eastern Montana. How old was I?? About eight. One of the best memories of my life.
"Hey, kid. You union? No? Well, I'll tell youse what. When I leave, youse will be. Yuh say no? Well gee! I woun't want anyting to happen to dat nice mower, yuh hear? We know where youse keep it. A shame if dat gas can in the grodge just caught fire and burneded it down. Your old man would be pissed at you, eh? So, be a smaht kid and give me $50 as a down payment on yer foist year of union dues! Atta boy. Hey! Why you cryin? That's all youse got, huh? Tough shit, son. Union guys doan cry. I'll see youse nexx month."
The young man has a work ethic which means he won’t grow up to be a Democrat. That’s what has them wound up.
Michelle Obama had children helping her take care of her garden.
Is that child labor?
How big were those lawns?
I was mowing lawns in 1980 for $20 and that was on average 4 acres.
