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 flashing 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".
