The 411 on Your Gardener

My name's Joe and I landed a sweet summer job mowing my Grandpa's lawn while he's away in California for awhile. It's odd, because my Grandpa always said that "California is the land of fruits and nuts and all the fruits are a little nutty and the nuts are a little fruity". I wonder what he'll be when he gets back. Probably fruity since my dad says he's already a little nutty.

There's a couple of things you should know about me:

1 - I am awesome

2 - I have a thorough knowledge of everything associated with the Apple iOS, which, like me, is awesome.

Cost Accounting

My Grandpa agreed t0 pay me $25 a week to mow his lawn. At first my dad lamely said that was too much and that I should do it for free since he's my Grandpa, but have you ever seen how expensive that awesome Apple stuff is? It's worth it since most of the profits go to purchasing body parts from the under privilegded in third world countries to insert in Steve Jobs since he wears out his own so fast thinking of new products that are awesome.

My Dad only pays me $15 to mow our lawn and even though it's way smaller than my Grandpa's, he was worried that I'd want more to do ours (which I do). Of course, for that $25 I have to edge and blow off the clippings from the drive.

Bonus: As of June 18, the weekly rate has been generously increased to $30.00.
