A Story To Emphasize The Precious Nature Of Family Time
We all have good intentions of spending more time with our families, but it sometimes just doesn’t work like that. This story should really get you thinking.
A guy came home from work and the first thing his son asked him was “How much do you paid an hour?”
Although he was surprised by the question he smiled and replied ” I am paid $20 an hour son”.
Before he had a chance to ask his kid why he wanted to know, his son asked another question “cool dad, so could you give me $10?”.
If the first question was unexpected, the second one floored him completely. Money was tight and he had to work very hard for his pay check, so his son was bang out of order.
He told his son this and expressed his disappointment at how his son had asked him for money. Things were already tight financially, and asking for such a thing would only make things more difficult.
The boy was bitterly disappointed by the way his father had reacted and he walked away quietly and sadly.
As he was putting the boy to bed that night, he felt really bad about what had occurred earlier on and had a change of heart. He handed the boy a $10 bill from his wallet.
With a whoop of delight the child put his hand under his pillows and when he withdrew it he had $10 in dollar bills in his hand. His father was furious and wanted to know why he had wanted the money off him when he already had $10.
His son held out the money to him and said “There’s $20 dad, I’ve just bought an hour with you…….”
How much is an hour of your time worth to your kids? This is something you should very well think about as the time truly flies by as they grow up.
