Making the cut

Daddy Dave is not an impulsive buyer by nature, but when I saw this toy lawnmower; I just couldn’t resist. When I moved into this house almost ten years ago, I noticed my next door neighbor’s baby son Zack practicing his mowing technique on my backyard lawn with a toy lawnmower very much like this one. By the time he was eight years old, he began mowing our lawn regularly. He is now twelve and will likely leave our employment in six years when he goes off to college. Judging by our smart sons’ instant recognition and demonstration of this toy lawnmower, Zack’s replacements should be trained and ready for yard duty when the time comes.
