Earning that Cash Money

Yes, I am still talking about our yard. Well after seeing that our pine straw in the flower beds was a grey color and we now had bean stalk like vines growing out of our bushes I remembered cutting the grass isn't the only thing I need to do. Johnny was so excited he really wanted to help and he wanted to ride in the truck so I told him if he did then he could earn some cash money (thats what johnny calls it). That got him even more excited, and once we got home he took off his shirt got his clippers and started trimming the bushes with me (which BTW is the best arm workout I have ever had), then he hung in there and spread out the pine straw. I was very proud of him, he didn't complain at all and did a good job. So when it came time to pay him he informed me he would like one dollar in the big pennies aka quarters and one dollar in cash. When I asked why he wanted the quarters he rolled his eyes and said matter of factly, for the gum machines mom.
