Daddy Can you give me 10$ ? A man came home from work late, 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? Thats 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 want to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why youre being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and dont 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 boys 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. May be there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didnt ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boys room and opened the door. Are you asleep son? he asked. No daddy, Im awake, replied the boy. Ive been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier, said the man. Its been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Heres 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 up bills. The man, seeing that 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 didnt have enough, but now I do, the little boy replied. Daddy, I have $20.00 now... Can I buy an hour of your time? Subhanallah we should never forget our kids and to spend quality time with them no matter how busy we get or tired we are, because even children have rights over their parents. Dont sell yourself to them, build a bond.
