dandelion dilemma

source

Every spring we get a lot of dandelions in our yard.

Last year I spent a lot of time spraying each individual flower with poison.

It was a lot of work and frankly a big pain.

This year I decided on a lazy different approach.

I told Harry last week I'd pay him a nickle for each dandelion flower he picked, figuring at least they wouldn't go to seed and make a million more dandelions.

In a very short time he racked up twelve dollars.

I could see that I needed to change my game plan.

This week I told all the kids I'd pay a penny a flower.

I seriously underestimated how many dandelions there are in our 1/2 acre yard.

I now owe the kids close to $30.

And a day later there are a ton more dandelions growing.

Apparently I need a new business plan.

I think my new plan is going to involve lots of emotional fist shaking and the words,

"Curse you dandelions!"

(At least it will be cheaper!)

I like your newest approach.

Hey! You totally stole my idea! I have been paying in chocolate chips but then got worried about the amount of chocolate being consumed all. day. long. Now I'm paying a penny per weed. We'll see how long that goes.
