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 apron1, 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 cents
Baby-sitting my little brother while you went shopping: 25 cents Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and
raking2 the yard: $2.00
Well, his mother looked at him
standing4 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
dread5, 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".
