Jokes # 75 : I want to buy an Hour ... ! late commer Father

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door...

Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"

Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"

Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"

Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" that man said angrily

Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

Daddy: "I make $50 an hour"

"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,

"Dad, may I please borrow $30?"

The father was furious, "if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish
behavior"

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, the man had calmed down, and started to think:"May be there was something he really needed to buy with that $30 and he really didn't ask for money very often!" The man went to the door of 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 may be I was too hard on you earlier", said the man, "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $30 you asked for" The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh thank you dad!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes. 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 his father. "Why do you want 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 $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you"

MORAL
It's just a short reminder to all of you working late in the offices
everyday.


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.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends
we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come
to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our
family. An unwise investment indeed!
