Help Wanted

As I mentioned earlier, after the Showdeo last week, we did a little shop cleaning.  There is quite the summer crew helping at the farm this year.  Three teenagers.  Need I say more.  And, Sister Pister is related to all of them, but they aren't all related to each other.  You got that?  You see, one of the boys is her cousin on one side of the family and the other boy is her cousin on the other side.  Totally legit...no redneck funny business going on there. 

Anyways, shop cleaning turned into a gong show.  Imagine that.  A box of vintage farm caps was found and then the teenagers lost their focus.  Apparently farm caps from the mid 70s to early 80s are a hot ticket nowadays. 


Because Dad-o has always bled green, the majority of the hats were vintage John Deere which made them even cooler to the teenagers.  Sister Pister found quite the little number, complete with a pom pom on the top.  This was the ladies hat JD put out back in the day. 


And, this should be the new HELP WANTED sign the farm should use to advertise.  It could say something like:

Help wanted on farm...we'll take anybody.  Are you half cracked?  Doesn't matter.  We'll still take you.  Are you known to lose your focus?  Doesn't matter.  We'll still take you.   

 
It also kind of screams out...two work around here and one just likes to look cute.  Bet you can't guess who the one who likes to stand around and look cute is?  Maybe this will help.  Because everyone knows, you must do some cheerleading while cleaning shop.    


It's rather scary this is the summer crew at the farm.  I feel a little like I should do starting lineups.  So, here goes.  Buckshot, son of Cousin B and Pic, is on the far right.  He hails from the other side of the state {but lives in a camper on the farm in the summer} and his strengths include anything that is loud and has a motor.  Then, you have Sister Pister in the middle.  She hails from the house on the farm.  Her strengths include cheerleading and anything that says "Neigh."  On the far left is The Max, son of Uncle T.  He hails from twenty minutes away from the farm {I'm sure he's disappointed he doesn't get to live in a camper}.  His strengths include anything that is loud and has a motor. 


I should note that both of the boys also have a knack for eating Momma Debi or Sil's cooking and baking until it is     g.o.n.e.     Good thing they don't have to survive off of my cooking and baking.  They'd quit.       

The shop did get clean, it just took a lot longer than it should have.  But, I guess if you can't have any fun while you're working, then that's no fun either.  That was a deep statement.  Any fun, no fun.  Made a lot of sense huh?  

Buckshot got down to business.  


The Max pretty much got down to business. 


But, Sister Pister...well she's a bit of a lost cause.

 
I think it's safe to say at least Dad-o and Brother don't have to worry about anyone stealing their summer crew. 

Disclaimer ::  All three of these teenagers are very hard workers who are tough and aren't afraid to get dirty...they are just easy targets for a little humor.
