Cleats by Bill Hinds for October 23, 2024

I don’t think Jack likes traditions…

Who, every day, must rake up all the fallings

Keep them from the neighbors, stuff them in a bag?

And who, while engaged, is kept from the TV

And dreams of owning power tools?

THE SOOOOOOON, THE SON… TRADITION!

TRADITIOOOOOON, TRADITION… TRADITION!

People who use leaf blowers should be… dealt with severely. Now get of my lawn.

I like it, but I think Jack needs a few more years before being big enough to take up that mantle.

Gary is a man of good old fashioned values. Plus, Jack is way too young to handle a leaf blower.

A whole lot of kids today could use the exercise, and the opportunity to be responsible. You live in the house, you should help with the chores. Especially since you’re not paying the bills!

Ah the old “why do I have to do this dad?” “Because I had to and now it’s your turn to suffer.”

No son can complain as loudly as a leaf blower. Win-win.
