The MVMM

This summer has been pretty darn lazy. For most of the time I have been unemployed. "Funemployed".... yeah ok, it was a pretty fun most of the time. However, two wonderful and temporary job opportunities were offered to me and I GLADLY excepted them.

I have two friends who are big on the lawn mowing scene. They are the grass giants, the trimming tycoons of their neighborhoods. Anybody's who's anybody has their lawn cut by these teenaged entrepreneurs. Respectively, they dominate the lawn business in their own wards.

A few weeks ago, Friend 1 went on vacation and allowed me to mow his lawns for the week. These last couple of weeks Friend 2 has been out of town and has hired me to do his lawns in his absence. I'm a lawn mowing substitute. It's a great job. All together I mowed 21 lawns at an average of $23.43 each, and at an average rate of $18.13 an hour. Not bad. Combined with the two lawns of my own that I mow, I made more like $20.35 an hour during those 3 weeks.

I did have to borrow my mother's minivan, take out the back seat, and stuff the lawn mower and other equipment in there, but it all worked out awesomely.

So if you ever need someone to mow your lawn for you while your out of town, just give me a call. I am the MiniVan Mower Man................ Yes! That's what I'll be when I grow up! A substitute mower!

Discovery

Today for lunch I had leftovers. I made a cheeseburger with a piece of ham on it. It was amazing. I call it..... The Hamburger.

Question:

What should I be when I grow up?
