Raking leaves

We are travelling to be with my in-laws for Christmas. We have been told that they have a LEGO store there. The test pilot can not wait to go see a store that only has legos. His parents, anticipating that there would be a need to buy something there, have instructed the boy he needs to get a job to pay for his lego needs.

He has regular chores that he has to do for no monetary gain just because he is part of the Apple family, but we have come up some extra ones to earn money. Raking leaves is one of them.

So I go and buy him a junior size rake and put him to work. Shortly, Crash is asking to rake. I give the junior rake to Crash and a large rake to the test pilot. Then I realize that Wingman has thrown himself on the ground crying because he doesn't have a rake. I am all out of rakes.

I called the neighbors and ask to borrow a rake because my boys are upset if they can't rake leaves. They just sounds funny to say.

Thankfully everyone had a rake and was able to work. They did a good job and actually enjoyed themselves.
