__Yucky Yard work __ media type="file" key="jamess-muckraker-2011.mp3" By: James S Have you ever had to go out in the hot sun and mow the lawn when you should be with your girlfriend or your other friends? Have you ever had to go out and pick weeds out of the ground for hours instead of just going out and having fun on the weekends? Yard work is the epitome of a waste of time. There is nothing more ridiculous then being forced to pick weeds, plant flowers or mow the lawn against your will. Without a doubt the most frustrating house task I have. Parents, if you want it done so badly because it makes you happy, then you do it! I don’t care if we have these stupid pretty plants. If you’re able to be lazy and force someone who cares less about the plants then anything in the world, you’re probably not going to get the best they have. And then parents get mad! Why should you get mad at me if you’re the one who wants it done? I don’t care if it gets done? So why should I care if the plants are in a straight line. Maybe when I need some money ill offer, but in the meantime….STOP FORCING ME. It’s just making it worse.
