Sons
                      No Charge

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, & this is what it said:

For cutting the grass $5.00

For
cleaning 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's written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were 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 all the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge, Son.

When you add it all 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.

             
Have a good day and don't forget to smile
It counts that you stopped by!
