I have 2 large trees in my backyard. Is it worth it to collect them for eating?

But then again, I'm cheap. :nomoney:

Hmm...good point. I may have to monitor the progress and adjust accordingly. "Sorry kids, the economy is in bad shape, so you're going to get a temporary pay reduction." :lol:

Exactly :lol: My grandfather never gave us anything for picking them up for him! He told us our reward was whatever my grandma baked w/ them :yum:

Teach them real life economics.
have five kids there, sit one to the side and dont make him do anything.
then, every fifth nut that the other kids collect goes to the one doing nothing.
when you reach a limit to how much you want to spend, lay a couple of the kids off, then make it every third nut to the guy that isnt doing anything from the remaining kids picking.

A wonderful lesson in liberal accounting.

Don't forget to give the kid laid back watching some kool-aid and junk food with his independence card.

and as soon as you pay the kids, tell them they owe you taxes on their income and take 25% back.
