Time with someone you love

A man came home from work late, tired and
irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting
for him at the door.
SON: ‘Daddy, may I ask you a question?’
DAD: ‘Yeah sure, what it is?’ replied the man.
SON: ‘Daddy, how much do you make an
hour?’
DAD: ‘That’s none of your business. Why do
you ask such a thing?’ the man said angrily.
SON: ‘I just want to know. Please tell me, how
much do you make an hour?’
DAD: ‘If you must know, I make $50 an hour.’
SON: ‘Oh,’ the little boy replied, with his head
down.
SON: ‘Daddy, may I please borrow $25?’
The father was furious, ‘If the only reason you
asked that is so you can borrow some money
to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,
then you march yourself straight to your
room and go to bed. Think about why you are
being so selfish. I don’t work hard everyday
for such childish frivolities.’
The little boy quietly went to his room and
shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even
angrier about the little boy’s questions. How
dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?
After about an hour or so, the man had
calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed
to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn’t
ask for money very often The man went to the
door of the little boy’s room and opened the
door.
‘Are you asleep, son?’ He asked.
‘No daddy, I’m awake,’ replied the boy.
‘I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on
you earlier’ said the man. ‘It’s been a long day
and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s
the $25 you asked for.’
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. ‘Oh,
thank you daddy!’ he yelled. Then, reaching
under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled
up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money,
started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money,
and then looked up at his father.
‘Why do you want more money if you already
have some?’ the father grumbled.
‘Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,’
the little boy replied.
‘Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of
your time? Please come home early
tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you.’
The father was crushed. He put his arms
around his little son, and he begged for his
forgiveness.
