My boys have started work I'm rambling

My wife is getting ready for her day boys left, I go back Sunday night midnight on bid . On back porch having coffee with my chocolate land shark lab. The boys took summer jobs with my one brother and my sister in law kennel And their dairy farm and orchards operations. It was the boys idea they were supposed to start Monday. But my brother called last night asking them if they were available to start today they said sure. So today they will be slinging paint brushes as it is raining. 7$ hour cash money the guys already have their wages spent. The one son is saving his cash for a car in two years. And my other dear child has his eye on a Paul reed smith single cut 245 at my friends guitar shop. He took the guitar down and told him once you get the cash it is yours. Apple did not fall to far from the tree he has definitely inherited my love of ceartin guitars.



My friend was asking me do you want him to have guitar now. And then just pay me when he gets the cash. I said no let him work for it this is his idea. And my other dear child thinks after two summers of working he is going to have enough cash to sway dad. Into buying my mustang GT he said once I flash that wad of cash dad you will say sold. I said I have my own wad of cash well actually your mother has it I get a allowance, but it is not going to happen turkey I just got a smile. And breakfast and lunch is also included my brother told boys he will charge them for chow. He was just pulling their legs they know their uncle he jokes like dad.

Too many parents now just buy the kid a car once he or she turns 16. Nothing wrong with letting them earn it first.
