I just made the biggest fool out of myself
I've been house sitting for my parents while they're out of town and they're coming home tomorrow so I decided I'd try to mow their lawn for them as a treat of sorts. Need I remind you that its been about 12 years since I've operated a push mower and I was never very good at it. I asked my dad if he minded if his lawn looked like a 24 year old woman who hadn't used a lawn mower since she was 12 mowed it first and he said no. So I put my grubby shoes on, threw my hair up in a makeshift ponytail with headband and set out into the evening. 30 minutes into it I realize that its not really getting any shorter but I press on... after all it's practically a meadow already and I set the blade quite high. 45 minutes into it I look at my shoes and realize there are no clippings. DOH! I called my dad and he told me that I missed a button! I'll give it another try tomorrow.
I brought the mower into the garage with my tail between my legs
About 7 of the neighbors were congregating in the next yard semi watching the kid who came home and tried to mow the lawn and failed. (no probably not but it felt that way)
I just thought I'd share. Maybe my story will make somebody laugh or smile
