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 cleaning up and raking
the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at
him standing there, and
the boy could see the
memories flaashing
through her mind. She
picked up the pen, turned
over the paper he'd
written on, and this is
what she wrote:
For the nine months I
carried you while you
were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I've
sat up with you, doctored
and prayed for you: No
Charge
For all the trying times,
and all the tears that
you've caused through
the years: No Charge
For all the nights that were
filled with dread, and for
the worries I knew were
ahead: No Charge
For the toys, food,
clothes, and even wiping
your nose: No Charge
Son, when you add it up,
the cost of my love is: No
Charge.
When the boy finished
reading what his mother
had written, there were
big tears in his eyes, and
he looked straight at his
mother and said, "Mom, I
sure do love you."And
then he took the pen and
in great big letters he
wrote:"PAID IN FULL".
