Razor blades scare me ever since I cut my left thumb enough to need stitches when I was about 4 or so, having found my grandfather’s semi-automatic blade stropper and some double sided blades in a box at the grandparents’ house. And decided to carve something out of a piece of 2×4. I don’t remember much about the chaos I caused by bringing my spurting hand to my mom… but I’m told the neighbor doctor sewed me up on the dining table… without anesthetic.
Actually, a good argument for Jason avoiding this chore would be that he’s a bit small to operate a mower safely. But if you think that he is up to it, then it’s a bad idea to let him get away with this.
We had this brilliant idea to place one-sided razor blades around the circumferences of frisbees and cut the grass while having fun… catching proved to be problematic
Peter could have said, “Great idea, Jason, but I want you to stay close by to watch for any system glitches that might show up. Center of the lawn would afford you the greatest visibility…”

Jason i wouldn’t want to go thru life always looking over my shoulder. Worrying what Paige and Peter are planning.

That thing could be very deadly surprised I have not seen that plot in a movie yet.

When Jason was told to water the lawn, he used a rocket and salt to try and make it rain.

Peter, you have to think faster than Jason to get out of the summer chore’s list.

Hey, we’ve got the Roomba™ to vacuum rooms. Why not a Lawnba, to automatically roll around the yard and cut grass?

This is the basic idea of the giant sawblade that they dangle under a helicopter to trim along pole-lines in rural areas.

Don’t knock it, Roger. Could save some time if you’re late for work. Just watch out for potholes.

It’s Peter’s turn to be Jason’s target.

A kid Jason’s age shouldn’t be using the mower anyway. But what about Paige? Equality, right?

This is the kind of activity usually preceded by the phrase “here – hold my beer”…with tragically predictable consequences. (rolling eyes)

Dad should have called him on it .. after taking away his drone.

Take the drone away and make him use the lawnmower.

This never would have happened under Andy’s watch.

Most drones have the propellors above the body. Or has Jason developed one where the props are below the body?

Jason would be too weakling to mow, smart kid though.

I’m surprised dad didn’t try that himself…

All he had to do was tell Jason he couldn’t use his idea. Why punish Peter?

Sometimes the best ideas are the ones that never get put into practice.
