My son hates cutting the yard and now that he has a real job I may be forced to take it over again. Serious bummer!
Great writing!
Be careful what we ask for. Excellent micro.
Love that, Pearl. Hope you had a happy weekend.
I must remember that when my son asks for something with an engine!
Wonderful micro. :)
Unhappy Birthday. My guy 'happened on' a transporter.

Your post reminded me of when my father and mother FINALLY got a 'sit-down' lawnmower, which actually made us kids want to mow the lawn.
SMART parents, hu? HA!
Have a wonderful week!

Poor Al! She should have got him a riding mower. :D
Oh, I had an Al, too, and he had the same idea Grandma has in her comment.
Good stuff. I can imagine your Al's disappointment. LOL

lol am beginning to hate grass when it needs to be cut. I rather let it grow and have a goat come and eat it.
We should have grazing laws and invite animals to eat lol
Haha! Perspective is everything!
Haha! Shows you should be careful what you ask for!
Oh, good one!
That made me laugh!
Careful what you ask for, right?
Thanks for the laugh. This is great!! You perfectly epitomized the birthday wishes of a teen boy and used the WOTW to boot!
