A little boy came up to his mother in
the kitchen one evening
while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his
Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week:
$1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my
kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage:
$1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For the nine months I carried you
while you were growing inside me:
No
Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the
years:
No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the
worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge
Be a giver not an asker, especially with
your parents. there is a lot to give,
