Good luck with that HB....
I know of exactly one kid who actually will do some work....he's about 8 or 9 and a real hustler...shovels snow, mows lawns, etc...after the blizzard, he was out with his snow shovel from dawn to dark, knockin' on doors and clearin' out paths for people.....impressive kid, but he's into makin' money, so he'd probably charge a nickle or dime a piece for grasshoppers.....

Yep, it has Buzzy.
'Bout that kid, sorta' interesting...he hadda' have open heart surgery three or four years ago....was sorta' touch and go for a time...his mom told me that after he got past the surgery and recovery, his heart doc said the very best thing the kid could do was to be real physically active and the worst thing he could do would be to just sit around and play video games....
She told me that when I expressed concern about him bein' out doin' such hard work with his heart like it is.....she told me they don't tell him he hasta' get out there like he does or anything even close to it, he's just a natural born hustler who likes to make $$$s...I gotta' wonder if maybe he's scared about what would happen if he ever just sat around, after the doc sayin' what he said..........

Either that or the medical bills were hard on his family and he's working so hard to make up for it. Regardless, sounds like a good kid, nice to hear about him.
