The lawn was getting long so I decided to mow it today. My 7 year old was very disappointed. He asked me, "Why did you have to mow the lawn today?"
"Because it was getting long," I said.
"But you cut down all of the wheat grass that I was collecting," he said. (The wheat grass that he collects are the grass seeds that grow on the tips of the long pieces of grass.)
"That's exactly why it needed to be cut. If it's long enough to have seeds, then it's past time to cut it!"

- I am a domestic goddess with 2 adorable angels who do everything they’re supposed to do. I vacation in the Bahamas on my own private island and sip Margaritas all day... Then I wake up and realize that I'm actually the maid, the gourmet chef, the chauffeur, the gardener, the butler, the banker, personal shopper and everything else my family needs. The Bahamas are actually the Seattle suburbs (at least no chance of a sunburn here!) but I still enjoy the occasional margarita. Sometimes it really is all about how you look at things ;)

You are no fun! lol
LOL; just wait a few years and he'll be cutting the grass for you :)
I really don't mind cutting grass; kind of therapeutic like shoveling snow. However now with the potential of snakes in the backyard, I just let my 20 y/o cut it and "throw" him some money; I think its a win-win situation :)
have a great Wednesday
betty
If only everyone appreciated the tall grass like 7 year olds :)
I agree with momisodes, I wish I could find the joy in that.
That grass is already to long. You need a scythe.
Sadly, there are times when I debate letting the grass grow long and go to seed so that it gets thicker. My husband isn't a fan of that idea though... I'm with your boy ;)
