I'm guessing his parents run the cement plant. Amazing just the same...

No wonder we can't compete with the Chinese. Do you think this operator makes as much in wages as the US burger flipper?

And we won't even let our children play dodge ball or tag. Too violent!

In 3 asian cities I have seen welders works on high rise projects - 50-90 stories high at midnight.

Shanghai
Bombay
Bangkok

You know which countries are going to dominate the 21 century - it will be those with a work ethic.

That is true. I raised my 3 sons with a good work ethic + all are successful. Can't do anything about the rest of the country though. That job should have been left to others fathers.

Geez!

Well, I've seen Amish kids no bigger than him operating just about every sort of farm equipment.

I bet he works a long, hard day.

My mother ran the #2 team of mules on my grandfather's farm in Indiana when she was five. He worked the 1st team. He had three daughters, no sons. The first daughter got to work for my grandmother in the house. My mother was the second daughter. She belonged to my grandfather.

My mother told a story about going to the barn and climbing on her lead mule's back when she was little. His eyes bugged-out and he started having a seizure. She jumped off and ran to the house to tell her dad that Ike was dying. He ran to the barn, and Ike seemed alright. He quizzed her a little and found out she was on his back. My grandfather told her no one had ever been on Ike's back and don't do it again. She said Ike knew he couldn't pitch her or he would catch holy hell, so he just stood there shaking, hoping she would get the hell off.

Before she started working a team she would tag along with her dad around the barn. She got tired around lunch time one day and sat on a bucket eating her sandwich. Her mother was hanging wash and looked up in time to see Ike come around the corner of the barn and make a run for my mother. Her mother yelled and the mule jumped over my mother, walked a little ways off and stopped. My mother said he had a smug look on his face. It happened so fast she still had the sandwich in her mouth she said.
