Taking on the task of mowing the lawn—how difficult could it really be? My partner makes it seem effortless. Yes, he emerges from the yard drenched in sweat and gasping for air, but watching him maneuver that mower is like watching a ballet. The blades glide through the grass flawlessly. I could certainly handle it if push came to shove.
Oh, how wrong I was. I decided to give it a go myself, thinking I could prove my point, and within minutes, I was drenched in sweat and on the verge of tears. That’s why I totally relate to the story shared by a guy named Jake Thompson, who recently faced a similar fate when he attempted to tackle the yard work.
Jake posted on social media, “My partner asked me if I could mow the grass in the backyard. I confidently replied, ‘Sure, I can handle that!’”
Jake Thompson embodies all of us who underestimate our partners’ hard work in the yard, thinking we could easily step in. “Believe it or not, I’ve mowed grass before, but it had been years. Luckily, my partner is SUPER particular about how the yard looks, so he usually takes care of it,” Jake shared. “When he asked me to mow, he knew I’d respond with my typical sarcastic flair.”
If his partner is as particular as mine, things were bound to go awry. I remember the first time I took a mower to our lawn, my mind raced with questions: “How does he do it? How come those strange lines don’t appear? How does he effortlessly make the grass look pristine?” If you ever doubt the difficulty of mowing, just try it for a minute and you’ll appreciate your partner’s efforts like never before.
Back to Jake—his saga didn’t end there. The album he posted online quickly went viral, racking up over 300,000 shares in just a few days, all thanks to its relatable humor. “Honestly, mowing wasn’t that hard, but I definitely captured the thoughts racing through people’s minds while doing it,” Jake remarked. “I can find humor in almost anything.”
So, the takeaway here? If you ever think that yard work is a piece of cake and feel the urge to prove how great you would be at it… you might want to keep that thought to yourself. Trust me, and trust Jake.
