There are a lot of things we humans do that I find a little silly. Things like wearing pants, and you know, getting a job. But no behavior is more futile and pointless than the age old suburban tradition of mowing the lawn.
Look, it always grows back. God wanted it to be there, ok? The lawn has already won. It's over. You can mow all you like, but seven days later that grass is right back where it started.
So why even mow in the first place? Someone give me a compelling argument for lawn mowing in the comments. I doubt there is one. Frankly, I think it would be sweet if we didn't mow. The grass growing all tall and crazy, our houses would look like they were abandoned shacks in the middle of a jungle or prairie. That sounds pretty cool. I think I could get used to that.
But really, this is personal. In my house, I do a lot of the lawn mowing. I don't really complain, and I don't even really hate it, I just think it's useless. It's 45 minutes of activity that I think would be better spent doing what I normally do, nothing.
Together, we can put a stop to this horribly unnecessary household chore. Join the revolution. Boycott your lawn mower. We can make a difference for the future. So that our children, and our children's children can live in a world devoid of lawn mowers, weed-whackers, and perfectly manicured lawns. Thank you, and god bless America.

I can think of two benefits of mowing.
ReplyDelete1) I kind of like the smell of freshly cut grass for some reason.
2) If you had one of those lawn mowers you could drive, i mean that would be fun.
dog poop would get lost amongst the tall grass
ReplyDeleteWho lets their dogs poop on their own lawn? You take them to a neighbor you don't like and let them crap on that lawn.
ReplyDeletei believe making the world better for our children, but not our childrens children because I don't feel like our kids should be having sex.
