Extreme rules call for extreme actions to break them. Unless this is another of your flowered stories, the woman was a might overprotective.
LOL She was taken for a ride.

This is another one of your funny stories. Greg sound like a typical boy in spite of his odd parents. According to my Dad, my mom got onto the riding mower without knowing how to break. It stopped when she ran it into the side of the house.

I can see a whole series of stories about this whacky family! A best-selling book by far!

"The Gardner's Growing Wild!"

OMG! Just one crazy adventure after another! Sort of a "Ricky and Lucy" madcap litany!

I'm in! Sign me up for the first edition!

SO funny!

Well you clever poet you, it took me a couple times to read through this to " get it" I saw the title and didn't see the helicopter mom throughout the poem. So I re-read it and ... ding dong, I understood your humor! Nicely done!

How many retards do you know??? No gumption. She should've pulled a lever or stomped on a pedal - she'd soon come to a halt. I guess Greg's ping-pong-paddled pink bottom was a badge of honor at outwitting his over-protective mom.

Well Greg was able to get in his baseball game at mom's expense.
This was an enjoyable tale with a perfect title.
Thank you for the smile.

I guess with his mother stuck on the riding mower, Greg was able to escape and follow his baseball-loving heart and joined the street game. That is so extreme. I can't imagine how this mother neglected to see that there are all kinds of dangers just in gardening - bugs, bacteria, poisonous plants, thorns etc.

to teach her to break. (brake?)

Well for Greg, it was certainly worth it! Watching his mother careen all over the yard on the ride-on mower, plus getting to play with the neighbourhood kids - what fun! mall price to pay. Lol. Loved it.
