grass being cut

One part of this movie that doesnt make sense (among other things Im sure)....

Nick tells Tommy to cut the grass and Tommy says he will "later". It is interpreted that he will do it "later" that day as Nick's Dad wants him to before his Mom comes home.

However, Tommy doesnt begin cutting the grass until the next morning very early. Why? Tommy is just not a very responsible kid I guess....

I dont think the director meant for this to happen but did he and why?

What are you talking about?

Maybe he forgot and suddenly remembered the next morning. Kids are like that.

An intended scene to add action to the movie. What I've always thought, he obviously does it early in the morning. I've always thought that most kids his age would rather be sleeping in then get up early to mow somebody's lawn. It seems like the day would have been a Sunday, so he wasn't waking up early for church.
