Most high school teenaged boys spend any of their extra cash on pricey video games, cool new sneakers, or even on alcohol to look cool at a party, which is exactly why one man was suspicious when 15-year-old Cody Mitschelin knocked on his door and offered to mow his lawn for $5.
However, 37-year-old neighbor Ryan Cox was pleasantly surprised to hear the real reason why Cody was working so hard to earn some extra money. “This 14-year-old boy came by the house with a lawnmower wanting to mow our lawn for $5. Well…me being a hustler I had to ask this kid why you mowing lawns? He replied with… ‘I’d like to take my girlfriend to lunch tomorrow and I don’t have enough money.’,” Cox explained.
Cox was so stunned by Cody’s response that he decided to help him find more customers, and ultimately made $45, which was enough to cover the cost of their lunch date and a nice bouquet of flowers. “When I told my girlfriend that I made $45, she was really proud of me and said, ‘That’s my man!'” Cody told TODAY
When Cody and his 17-year-old girlfriend Audrey Fierro, who have been dating for 6 months, arrived for their lunch date at Safari Pizza, they saw that their table had been set for their romantic date. The owner had heard about Cody’s hard work, and wanted to help make it special with the decorations, and told them that their meal would be on the house.
Cody still wanted to spend his hard earned cash on Audrey, however, so later took her out for ice cream, donuts, and candy, as well as bought her a baseball hat.
“I’m so happy this still exists… Hope is still alive for the future generation and our sons and daughters,” Cox wrote in a post to Facebook that has since gone viral. “I’m impressed by whoever is raising this boy, great job!!!”
