re: At what age did you start cutting grass?

Lee Jr started last year
He’s 7

He’s my little slave.

I was probably 11 when I started. My dad bought a pretty basic push mower and I always asked him for a self propelled one because we had a steep incline in the backyard. Fast forward a few years and I’m visiting home freshman year of college and low and behold, there’s a brand new self propelled push mower in the garage. My dad wouldn’t stop talking about how nice it was to use...

10. You had to reach double digits in age before you were allowed to mow the lawn.

Age? You mean size

10 or 11 I think.

Once I was 12 my brother (2 years younger) and I had to mow as part of our chores(one of us do front, other do back). Backyard was bigger and a massive pain to mow

So I always made sure to wake up before my brother to mow the front yard, leaving him to mow the back.

I guess about 8 or so. Started making money about 10. Dad was a real estate agent and would drop me off about 9 in the morning in a new subdivision and I'd cut every yard for a $100. He'd swing back by around 12 to bring me a burger and a gatorade.

frick, these days someone would have called CPS.

I was 8 or 9.

14

10. It was the first thing I learned to take pride in. I was a chubby kid so it helped me exercise and lose a lot of weight too. Wednesdays and Saturdays during the spring and summer, and just Saturdays in the fall and winter. Edging, cutting, sweeping - the whole shebang. I'd even collect my parents coffee grinds, egg shells, and fruits and vegetable scraps and spread them across the yard before I cut it. They had a damn nice lawn.
