A little boy came upto his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper and he handed her on a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mum dried her hands on the apron, she read;
"For cutting the grass: $5.00For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: £0.50
Babysitting my little brother while you went shopping: $0.25
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. She picked up the pen and turned over the paper he had written on, and this is what she wrote;
"For 9 months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No charge
For all the nights I sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No charge
For all the nights filled with dread and the worries ahead: No charge
For the toys, food, clothes and care: 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, "MUM I SURE DO LOVE YOU."
