As You Know

Yesterday, Mike was working on the plumbing at the project house.  There was a knock at the door.  A 9-year old boy, who was holding a rake asked if he could do some yard work to earn some money.  It was a little bit surprising to have someone come to the door, because the house looks empty.  Mike explained that he had children who would be helping with the yard work.  The boy tried to look around inside the house to see the children. 

Mike told us about the boy at dinner and mentioned that the boy had a great spiel.  The boy's first words were, " As you know Mother's Day is coming up."  I wish we could have hired him, because the boy really put some thought into how to get customers.
