11. When my nephew was staying with me

To go to school here. We went out and bought him a RTA futon. I told him he's going to have to know how to do things like putting it together, so please put it together. He couldn't figure it out and after an hour came to me and said he didn't know what to do. I asked him if he had followed the directions and he said he hadn't t looked at them. He said his Dad used to get so mad trying to follow the directions and said they were useless. Well, he looked at the directions and had the project done in a half an hour or so. I let him know that not all directions are alike, that sometimes there are bad directions but to always check them first.

I've used electric mowers for at least the last 15 years. I love them lightweight and quiet. I used to be the only one on the block, but I've noticed there are 3 more people using them now.
