FALLS CHURCH, VA—11-year-old Frank Giaccio didn't write to the White House requesting to meet the President Trump. He wanted to cut his lawn.

The Falls Church boy started his own neighborhood lawn mowing business and decided to seek out customers starting from the top, NBC News reports. Last month, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read his letter to the White House about his lawn mowing services, where he stated it would be an "honor to mow the White House lawn."

"I'd like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for," says the letter Sanders read to reporters.

He appeared so focused on his work that he didn't even notice Trump coming out to greet him at first.

The boy managed a high five before getting back into the grind. Eventually he did get to chat with Trump and tour the White House after his work was done.
