You need to save up this winter and get them to clean your garage.Today's "You can't make this sh-t up" episode is brought to by the modern education system.
It's a first hand experience as told by the direct witness... ME.
So, being old, fat, and crippled... the wife & I sometimes hire high school kids to come over and help me do stuff around the house. We pay $10 an hr, cash. Run the weedeater, pick up sticks in the yard, things like that. She's a teacher's aid that works with learning disabled kids, and many of them come from crappy homes so they need money. These kids are just a bit slower than normal, not the real bad ones. That's another department.
Still, I was absolutely knocked for a loop today. I was wearing a T-shirt I got online from the Hodge Twins that said "1776" on it. One kids askes me.
"What happened that year?"
He HAD to be kidding right? a 17 year old high school kid???
Nope. Dead serious. He didn't know.
I went to the other kid... "Tell him what happened this year" I said pointing at my chest.
Sure enough... she didn't know either.
"Are you sh---ing me? Neither of you? This is the year our country was born!"
His answer... "Why should I care?"
It took 100% of my self control not to slap the kid.
I realize these kids come from messed up homes.
I realize they are not exactly honor students... but holy crap.
I am really starting to doubt the chances of the survival of the USA.

Next on the "to do" list.You need to save up this winter and get them to clean your garage.
Oh, answering foryour wifeone of your friends.
I cleaned mine out yesterday, with the son using the wood lathe to make a bunch of pens to give away and leaving old Pops a mess. Its my dad getting even.Next on the "to do" list.
I'd like to get back to working on the Jeep, and it's a mess in there.
Have no idea but don't think he himself took some or he probably wouldn't be able to operate a gunThe baby probably tested positive for weed from Mom's breast milk. Hard to imagine how a 5 year old tests positive for cocaine.
Ah very refreshing how to blind in less then a minute

YES... we had a history lesson as we worked.

Story time...
Neighbor's kid is now a freshman at Purdue. Talked with him a few times, didn't seem... um... anyways... he had quite a few AP and prep classes, seemed on-the-level. His mother is now visiting on weekends to tutor so he doesn't flunk out and staying overnight in hotels as he's in a dorm.
The other day I gave a clerk $12.55 on a $7.55 transaction, they asked why. I said, "All I need is a 5." It seemed difficult. I will no longer do that anymore.
I got a coke once at a McDonalds. Total was $1.07. I gave the kid $1.27. He said thanks, so I asked for my change. He had to pull out his phone to calculate the change.Unfortunately, this is by design.

I wonder when it will reach the point where they'll have to pull out their phone to remember their pronouns.I got a coke once at a McDonalds. Total was $1.07. I gave the kid $1.27. He said thanks, so I asked for my change. He had to pull out his phone to calculate the change.
I woulda gave you back 2 dimes and asked are you that concerned about your weight or just need to make a couple of phone calls?I got a coke once at a McDonalds. Total was $1.07. I gave the kid $1.27. He said thanks, so I asked for my change. He had to pull out his phone to calculate the change.
