Triumphant Over My Yard
So today I went to work as usual, only its a Saturday, meaning that Starbucks opens at 6 instead of 5:30. Meaning i should have been at work at 5:30 instead of 5, but I was there at 5. So already my day is just weird. Apparently everyone else was having one of those days too, because Jared was 30 minutes late, and Whitney could NOT stop acting silly, it was all very entertaining for me. I got off at 9:45, came home, very tired I might add, went upstairs to say hello to my parents and went to my room to lay down, I needed a nap. No more than thirty minutes later my dad comes bursting in my room and says in a booming voice,"Oh no!! none of that its time to do some work!" Work? I don't think so. I just want to lay in my bed peacefully without rakes, leaves, grass, and lawn mowers to bother me. I groggily replied to his intrusion of my slumber with "Who are you?" To which he replied with a goofy grin and motioned for me to join his little expedition. I reluctantly got out of bed, I knew there was no getting out of this one. I changed clothes and ventured outside, I then waited to be deployed. I made the comment that I COULD mow the lawn, not that i WANTED to mow the lawn, my dad challenged me, I could tell by his face that he
didnt think I could do it, to which my reaction was, "Oh no you didnt." I then proceded to mow the lawn, the whole lawn, by myself, have you ever seen my lawn? It isnt really a lawn, its more of a mountanous range of grass, braches, huge holes(which are very easy to fall into I might add) and small trees(which get mowed also). After about an hour and a half I finished my great endeavor, it was a great workout, and I'm really tired now, and quite sore. After all this i also realized that my dad totally tricked me into mowing the hardest part of the lawn and gave himself the easiest, he knew I wouldnt do it if he just asked politely, so he made it seem like he didnt think I could do it, which I of course had to prove to him that I could. That nap sounds good right now.
