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?
