One day after coming from work, a father fetched his grade school son from school. When they got home the boy put all his things in their proper places. Then pet Browny came up to him wagging its tail. Then boy started caressing its head pretending to look for ticks or fleas, but he could not find one.
His dad switched on the TV for the early evening news. In a little while he asked his father, "Dad why do you think Browny has no money? "Browny is a dog he would not need money. He has no use of it." replied the father. "No Dad your answer is wrong" countered the kid."When our teacher asked us the same question, his answer was 'because it has no pocket'" the boy continued. After some moments of silence, the boy asked again. "Dad how many pockets do you have in your pants? me I have two" said the kid. Again after some moments of silence Dad replied, "Maybe I have three,Why?" asked his father. " Dad I need some money" the boy said with a forced smile. "Son you do not always have to ask for money, you have to earn it." " Dad our teacher told us, money saved is money earned." "I do not believe so but I like your way of reasoning." said the father while giving some money to his son.
Moments like this are self-fulfilling. Like most fathers I favor giving quality time for the children. But most of the time our daily task of making a living (money) prevent us from making this more fulfilling task
You might have noticed something about the topic it is more about money than quality time. This is a bit more on little serious matters.
Little serious matters that matter just read and you day a little easdier
