Can I Borrow 25Bucks?
A man came home from work late.
Feeling tired &irritated to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
Son : "Daddy, may ii ask you a question?"
Dad : "yeah suree, what it is?" replied the man.
Son : "Daddy, how much do you earn an hour ?"
Dad : "That's none of your business.
Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
Son : " ii just want to know.
Please tell me, how much do you earn an hour?"
Dad : " If you must know, ii make 50bucks an hour."
Son : " Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
Son : " Daddy, may I please borrow 25bucks ?"
Th father was furious replying:
"if th 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,
th man had calmed down & started to think :
Maybe there was something he really need-ed to buy with that 25bucks
& he dont really ask for money that often.
Th man went to the door of th little boy's room &opened his door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, ii'm stil awake," replied th boy.
"i'v been thinking, maybe ii was too hard on you earlier" said the man.
"It's been a long day &ii took out my aggravation on you.
Here's th 25bucks you asked earlier. "
Th little boy sat straight up, smiling (:
"Ohh, thank you daddy!' he yelled.
Then he reached under his pillow & pulled out some crumpled up notes.
Th man saw that th boy already had money & started to get angry again.
Th little boy slowly counted out his money
&then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" th father grumbled.
"Because ii didn't hav enough, but now ii do." th little boy replied.
"Daddy, ii have 50bucks now.
Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you (:"
Th father was crushed.
He put his arms around his little son &begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you that'r working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers,
without having spent some time with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that 50bucks worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow,
th company that we are working for, could easily replace us in a matter of hours.
But th family & friends we leave behind,
will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy.
She's a rebel!(:
