Here's a wb type story. All you fathers pay attention. HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH? >>> >>> >>> >>>The man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find >>>his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a >>>question?" >>> >>>"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man." >>> >>>"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" >>> >>>"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the >>>man said angrily. >>> >>>"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" >>>pleaded the little boy. >>> >>>"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour." >>> >>>"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, >>>"Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?" >>> >>>The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how >>>much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or >>>some nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to >>>bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours >>>everyday and don't have time for such childish games." >>> >>>The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. >>> >>>The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's >>>questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. >>> >>>After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he >>>may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he >>>really needed to buy with that $10.00, 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 my aggravation out on you. Here's >>>that $10.00 you asked for." >>> >>>The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he >>>yelled. >>> >>>Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled >>>bills. >>> >>>The man, since the boy already had money, started to get angry again. >>> >>>The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the >>>man. >>> >>>"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father >>>grumbled. >>> >>>"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. >>>"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?" >>> >>>_____________________________________________________ >> >
