14-Year-Old Mows Lawns To Earn Money To Take His Girlfriend On A Date, Goes Viral (Video)

A photo went viral this weekend of a 14-year-old named Cody Mitschelin mowing a guy’s lawn in Oakdale, California.  The guy who posted it on Facebook says that Cody knocked on his door and asked if he could mow his lawn for $5.  At first he said no thanks, but then asked Cody what he was saving up for.  Cody said that he wanted to make enough money to take his girlfriend on a date the next day.  So the guy changed his mind, got some of his neighbors to let him mow their lawns too and Cody made enough to take her to lunch and buy her flowers!

The neighbor also posted a picture to a local Facebook group of Cody mowing his lawn and encouraging others to let him mow their lawns as well.  The picture went viral and was shared more than 80,000 times!

The pizza place that Cody took his girlfriend to even gave them everything for free because they knew about the story, so he still had enough cash left over to take her on two more dates!  Go get ’em, Cody!
