SON: “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
DAD: “Yeah sure, what is it?”
SON: “How much do you make an hour?”
DAD: “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”
SON: “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?”
DAD: “If you must know, I make $100 an hour.”
SON: “Daddy, may I please borrow $50?” The father said, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. I work hard every day for my money.” The little boy went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the man started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $50. The man opened the door and said: “I was too hard on you earlier. Here’s the $50 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, smiling, and said, “Oh, thank you daddy!” Then, reaching under his pillow a slowly counted out his money, his father asked, “Why do you want more money if you already have some?” SON: “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do. Daddy, I have $100 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.
