Can I smack him? Really can I? Please?
Ethan – Dad can you get gas for the mower…
Me – OK I have time before work.
On the way…
Ethan – By the way, my Air Conditioner in my car stopped working…
Me – it worked? I thought you didn’t have AC in here.
Ethan – well, all this (He says while pointing to his fan controls for his Vent/Heater)
Sure enough … no fan … nothing.
Me - Lets figure that out later… you have lousy timing dude.
Later I hear clunk clunk clunk clunk. Dammit!
Me – What did you do?
Ethan – I think I owe you a new mower.
Me – WHAT?!?!?!
Ethan – I ran over a stick, a rather large stick, now it sounds like this when I try to start it.
Me – Did I say you have lousy timing? Let me look at it.
Sure enough he jammed a stick between the body and the plastic plug for the Bagger chute. I got the stick out but he ruined the plastic piece.
Now we may have to bag every time till that part is replaced. I told him it was his choice now to bag or use the old mower… Don’t know what he chose … at this point I don’t really care.
At least he didn’t run the stick into his own leg… but that may have taught him to check for sticks 1st.
