Can I mow your lawn?

Jerry and I have been frustrated by the Utah attitude towards money. Several people have tried to bargain on the price of guitar lessons. This is how we pay our bills. Jerry has taught for 26 years. He is effective and he gets great results with his students. Once again someone called for lessons and his mom called back to say that they couldn't afford that much. Oh Well!

That was two weeks ago and today the teenager called Jerry and said, "I want lessons with you so bad that I am going to raise the money to pay for the lessons myself." He asked if he could mow our lawn as partial payment. I thought that was so darn cute. His drive to pay for his lessons despite the "high cost" restores my faith in humanity.
