When I was 15 one of my sisters and I started a business. We called it “Wild Things”. We gathered mountain laurel and hemlock and other stuff that grew in the wild and sold it to local florists. Made pretty good money doing that. But then she joined a circus and I started doing theater and kind of lost interest in keeping up the work.
lech i got 5 bux an hour allowance until i was 14, then at 15 i got a part time job after high school. made about 5.05 an hour (off the books). all my mobey went to music tho. grrrr
visited Ludlow street on the LES this weekend. my old super was carted away by the ambulance and the entire fugly building was turned into luxuty apts. the old chinese lady and her son who lived there tho, still lives there and saw me out the window and said in a huge chinese accent: where your dog!!!! where your dog!!!!
I never got an allowance as a kid. I could work for money but there was no such thing as just getting cash from the parents just for breathing.
First job when I was like 5 or 6 was I would get paid a dollar a week to clean out the chicken coop (not the shit, just collect the eggs every day). I remember when I heard there were 52 weeks in a year I thought holy shit if I keep working for a year I’ll have a ton of money.
Then I got $3.50 an hour to drive the skidder (logging). I think I was 11 when I started driving the skidder.
I would help out with building roads and stuff too. But then I crashed a dump truck when I was 12 and I kind of had to stop driving big equipment for a while.

“too” much
“Then I got $3.50 an hour to drive the skidder”
A skidder sounds like something I get in my gauchies after taking to much Dulcolax.

“My old building in Manhattan was over 55 units and we did not have a live in Super.”

Or a male sorter?
