Erik's been in the window washing business for some time now. He's done some research online as to what products he likes and doesn't like, and I'm sure grateful for neighbors who are willing to let my boy practice on their windows and then pay him for it.
For the past couple of months we've endured having a home built next to us. You know they're about done when the window washing guys show up.
After some psychological coercion, Erik found his bravery and went next door to talk to the guy and get some tips.
The window dude even let him try out some of his equipment.
I honestly didn't think Erik would do it. My kids surprise me sometimes.
I've got a workin' boy who loves earning a few dollars.
Sadly in our neighborhood there just isn't an awful lot that a 13-year-old boy can do to be employable. At the beginning of the summer I told him he could probably make a little money washing windows for the neighbors.
I mean, who doesn't enjoy clean windows. But who really enjoys doing it?
He finally took my advice three weeks ago, practiced on my windows, and has pretty much cleaned our entire neighborhood.
Every day he thinks about who he hasn't been to yet and then says (loudly for everyone to hear),
"Well, I'm off to work!"
Love my little entrepreneur.
