(A)
Our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and he handed her a piece of paper that he wrote on. After Mum dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: \$5. 00 For cleaning up my room this week: \$1. 00
For going to the store for you: \$0. 50 For baby sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: \$0. 25
For taking out the garbage: \$1. 00 For getting a good report card: \$5. 00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: \$2. 00 Total owed: \$14. 75
Well, I’ll tell you his mother looked at him standing there eagerly, and I could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years: No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is No Charge.
