Good evening, everyone,
A son's conversation with his father…
A man arrives home one evening, tired after a hard day's work,
to find his five-year-old son sitting on the front porch steps.
- Dad, can I ask you a question?
- Of course!
- How much do you earn per hour?
- But that's none of your business, son!
- I just want to know. Please, tell me!
- Well, if you absolutely want to know. $35.00 an hour.
The little boy goes back into the house with a sad look.
He turns back to his father and asks him:
- Dad, could you lend me $10.00?
- Well, that’s why you wanted to know.
To borrow money from me! - Go to your room and go to bed.
I had a tough day,
I am tired and I have no desire to be pestered with such nonsense.
An hour later, the father, who had had time to decompress a bit
wondered if he had overreacted to his son's request.
Maybe he really did want to buy something important…
He therefore decides to go to the little one's room.
- Are you asleep, son?
- No, Dad!
- Listen, I’ve thought about it and here’s the $10.00 you asked me for.
- Oh, thank you, Dad!
The little guy rummages under his pillow and pulls out $25.00.
The father, upon seeing the money, becomes even more irritated.
- But why did you want $10.00?
You have $25.00! What do you want to do with this money? - It’s just that… I was missing some. But now, I have just enough.
- Dad… could I buy an hour of your time?
Tomorrow evening, come home earlier, I’d like to have dinner with you!!!
Always take the time to get closer to the people you love!
Marylena
