A little boy
came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper,
and he 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 had
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, “Mom, I sure do love you.”
And then he took the pen and in
great big letters he wrote:
“PAID IN FULL.”
