Hey mister is that your job? Yesterday from a 10 yr old. I replied no I do it to find the stuff you lost. shouldn't have said that cause all I found there was three hot wheels and a broken cap gun! Then his 5 yr old brother shows up and they box me in and start trying to help me dig. I had one on each side of me keept getting closer and closer, finally I was swinging about a 1 foot arc. I had to get out of there quick.

Just slow down to the speed of a statue so they'll get bored and leave.
