Frank Giaccio, an eleven-year-old from Falls Church, Virginia, got an unusual once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Friday morning -- he mowed the White House Rose Garden lawn for the president.

 Frank and his father, Greg Giaccio, arrived at the White House, and the 11-year-old — the proprietor of FX Mowing — got to work in the Rose Garden and met the president. Later, the president pat Frank on the back and called him the "future of our country," according to pool reports. "Maybe he'll be president," he said. But Frank, called FX by his family, kept trucking along.

– Some children dream of being astronauts. Others of winning the World Series. But little Frank Giaccio just wanted to mow President Trump's lawn, the Washington Post reports. “Even though I’m only 10, I’d like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for,” Frank wrote in a letter read by Sarah Huckabee Sanders during a press briefing last month. “I admire your background in business, and I’ve started my own.” On Friday, the now 11-year-old owner of FX Mowing got his wish, USA Today reports. “That’s the real future of the country right there—we’re lucky,” Trump said while watching Frank mow the White House lawn in gloves and safety goggles. “Maybe he’ll be president someday.” Frank, who is foregoing his normal $8 lawn-mowing fee in this instance, was supervised by a US Park Service employee, CBS News reports. The president gave the young Virginian multiple pats on the back and high fives and then took Frank and his father on a tour of the Oval Office.
