Grumpy Old Men

Last night I went to make a visit with my Elder's Quorum President. It was just a normal home teaching visit with lots of chatter and discussion about every day life. One of our subjects was about the drought. I thought about this man's job as an employee with the Flower Mound parks department, and I said, "What do you do in the parks department when there's no rain?"

He replied, "Well... we mow the grass even though there isn't any. We fix fences, and we clean poop off of playgrounds."

"You clean poop off of playgrounds," was my response. It seemed like it didn't fit his job description.

He said, "Yea, there's this old guy who has a playground by his house. He's mad because they built this playground right next to his home. So everyday when he walks his dog he takes the dog poop and smears it all over the playground so the little kids won't want to play on it. His neighbor caught him doing it and called us."

It seems really immature for a grumpy old man to be doing something like that. Don't you think?
