I would have known that the kid was asking to be hired for a job.

I guess you will know for next time Roman, that he is asking you to hire him, not volunteering to do it for free.

when he asked to shovel my first question would have been "for how much?" He should have been upfront with his intentions, but you as the adult should have inquired a bit.....Kids assume you know what they mean

Roman, I meant to add, I don't mean to pick on you at all either. If that had been me at that age I wouldn't of bothered to open the door. lol

just to show how nice i really am i found where the kid lived (5 doors down) and gave him the extra 15 dollars

i said sorry you deserved it and he said thank you and asked if he could play wiht max a littl while in my yard

i said he could come over tomorrow at 4 (when max isn't so hyper)

ITA! I don't always keep up with who is just over 13 on this site. You did good all of the way around.

I'm 32 and I don't answer the door or answer the phone if I don't recognize the number (and sometimes even if I do) I hate to be bothered

Im only 14, but thats exactly how i am. My parents complain because i dont answer the phone, but i just dont like to talk to bill collectors and stuff. We dont have caller ID, but i really want it so i can see if its family or not. I dont answer the phone either, i sneak up to the door so i can see the shadow of the person knocking. But, my family and friend all just walk in slowly, they usually dont knock, so i know if its someone knocking, i probably wouldnt want to talk to them.
