If your paying in beer I'm available..haha!
On hard work an kids..**** skippy. I was taught when younger to do some work if I wanted something. That usually meant helping my grandfather load cars on the flatbed, or unload them or whatever else he needed done..oh the stories I could tell. I wish it had just been taking apart computers, an such. Oh no for us it was working in the yard getting the cars ready to go in the am. I got the scars to show it to boot, I musta busted my head open four or five times on the back of that accursed flatbed. Stitches in your head when your 7 are no fun, specially when they didn't numb you up back then to get'm!
The work was hard, but I don't regret it. It taught us to work for what we wanted, and not to take things for granted. An I've adopted that for my adult working life. Whether it was selling toys, or throwing boxes around while with Amazon, or alphabetizing books while working for Borders, to now running my own scrap business.
They always said "Hard work builds character!" it explains why I'm such one today.
