Hard workers, skilled at gardening and brought their lunches to save money and so personable. I would have voted for either one of them for President. Whoops. I think that might be political.
Anyway. Times have changed. Work is hot and sweaty and itchy and disagreeable nowadays and not sought after. Plus mom is there with the money for whatever.
