Follow-up observations

B
ACK in 2007 I wrote, "There are few things more delightful than hearing a ten-year-old girl go 'wheeeeee!' as she steers a riding lawnmower with her uncle."

Today I discovered there are few things more delightful than seeing the huge manic grin of a thirteen-year-old girl as she rides the lawnmower solo around the yard for the first time.

Unless, of course, it's hearing the subsequent whoop of delight as she discovers she's getting paid to mow the lawn.
