A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.
SON: ‘Mommy, may I ask you a question?’
MOM: ‘Yeah sure, what it is?’ replied the woman.
SON: ‘Mommy, how much do you make an hour?’
MOM: ‘That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?’ the woman said angrily.
SON: ‘I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?’
MOM: ‘If you must know, I make $20 an hour.’
SON: ‘Oh,’ the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: “Mommy, may I please borrow $5?”
The mother was furious, ‘If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.’
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut
the door..
The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.The woman went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
‘Are you asleep, son?’ She asked.
‘No Mommy, I’m awake,’ replied the boy.
‘I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier’ said the woman. ‘It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $5 you asked for.’
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. ‘Oh, thank you Mommy!’ he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
‘Why do you want more money if you already have some?’ the mother grumbled.
‘Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,’ the little boy replied.
‘Mommy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you.’
The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.
It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And for those mom working miles aways from home like me… Cheer up! It’s a computer world! So just make sure that your SKYPE is open 24/7…. as if you’ve never been away at all 🙂
As you slip in the water
The coolness gives you a chill
And the players set in a line
Six on six, what a thrill
The ref blows his whistle
And you lunge at your foe
Where’s the ball? Where’s the air?
Come on, let’s go!
You’re friends around you shout
‘Dump! Go! Weak!’
The coach’s face turns bright red
And you meet cheek to cheek
As you beat through the water
Being drowned by a stranger
You toss the ball too far
This can only mean danger
But your friends never fail you
They leap for the sphere
Without hesitation, they shoot
And our team gives a cheer
The rhinos across from you
Snarl with anger and wrath
You call out their number
And calculate a path
Ten, nine, eight’
The clocks running down.
Steal the ball! Give your all!
Go, swim around!
Seven, six, five’
There’s no chance, right?
But you break free from the de-
And the ball takes its flight
Three, two, one’
With a single pump
As the ball hits the back
Of the net with a thump
No one can believe
We’ve won the game
The other team
Is put to shame
As for you, you scream loud
There’s no other bliss
In the whole entire world
Other than this
The rhinos across from you
Snarl with anger and wrath
You call out their number
And calculate a path
Ten, nine, eight’
The clocks running down.
Steal the ball! Give your all!
Go, swim around!
Seven, six, five’
There’s no chance, right?
But you break free from the de-
And the ball takes its flight
Three, two, one’
With a single pump
As the ball hits the back
Of the net with a thump
No one can believe
We’ve won the game
The other team
Is put to shame
As for you, you scream loud
There’s no other bliss
In the whole entire world
Other than this
