>>>>Yeah...12 is too young for a riding lawnmower - too dang hard to control it properly in a wheelie (grin) - tho' I was on a riding lawnmower at 12 or 13. We'd moved to a house on 1 1/8 acre of land and my brother turned up conveniently allergic to grass, so it became my job...every week from February through November. In December and January it only needed to be mowed once a month.

>>>I was on horseback before I can remember. Driving a pickup with my father in the back feeding hay at 6. Mowing the lawn by myself around 8.

>>>I swear, you city folk raise your children in bubbles. ;)

>>Hey today's city-folk kids are selling drugs and shooting guns by age of 6.

ummm...in all fairness many do have parental supervision when starting out on such endeavors.
