A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen while she was cooking the dinner, and he handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mum dried her hands, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: £5.00
For cleaning up the garden: £2.00
For cleaning up your bedroom: £1.00
For going to the shop for you: £.50
Baby-sitting while you went shopping: £2.00
Taking out the bins: £0.50
For getting a good report from school: £5.00
Total owed: £16.00
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 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
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 up at his mother and said, "Mum, I assure you I do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL."
