When I was 8 I was cutting a acre of bamboo with scissors. Had to work fast; that stuff really can grow.When I was 12 I was mowing 2 acres by pushing a lawn mower!

Obviously you were spoiled rotten. When I was 7, I had the same job
but had to gnaw though the stalks with my teeth.

When I was 12 I was mowing a 4 acre lawn with an 18" Lawn Boy push mower and that is the truth. When I got done if it had been raining a lot it was just about ready to start mowing all over again. I also cleared bushes, sassaffrass saplings, honeysuckle, and briars from a fence row with a hoe and an axe at 12 years old. That is the absolute truth. I am a poor country farm boy from the south and that wasn't the hardest stuff I ever did either. Hard work was all I ever knew.
