GOSHEN, IN — In a touching act of sacrificial love for his family, a local dad has elected to give up his valuable time on a Saturday to mow the lawn on a sweet riding mower in peace and quiet on a beautiful, sunny day.
"Yeah, this is back-breaking work, but I'll do anything for my family," said Chad Blivens while taking a sip of the beer in his cupholder and pausing his podcast to talk to reporters. "This job takes me over 2 hours each week. There are so many other things I could be doing, but I've always believed it's important for husbands to do the most difficult work around the house. I'm just laying down my life for my family the way Christ laid his life down for the church. It's my God-given role."
Sources say Blivens has been faithfully doing this work for over ten years, usually for as long as it takes for him to finish the latest Joe Rogan episode.
"I couldn't be more proud of him," said Blivens' wife while feeding lunch to 4 kids, emptying the laundry, cleaning the guest bathroom, and changing a diaper at the same time. "He's my hero."
At publishing time, Blivens had taken another 45 minutes to get gas for the mower, as the podcast episode had gone a little long.
Citing concerns about stiff competition from Amazon and an impossible-to-please Gen Z, Santa has announced he's hanging up the hat for good.
