While, I was recovering from surgery and spending most of the day in bed, my
seven year old son asked me why I didn't get a boyfriend, since my husband
(his Dad) had run off. I told him the television is my new boyfriend, he
entertains me all the time. And, even though he sometimes doesn't start, I
just give it a few hard whacks on the side and it comes back on and I'm
happy as a lark for hours. He was satisfied with the explanation and walked
away.
Sunday the pastor stopped by to check on my recovery. My son answered the
door. The pastor smiled and asked, "Is your Mom busy, son?" My little one
looked up at him and replied, "Yes, sir, she's in the bedroom banging her
new boyfriend and once she gets him started, she'll be happy for hours!"
A small boy is sent to bed by his father.
Five minutes later....
"Da-ad...."
"What?
"I'm thirsty. Can you bring drink of water?"
"No. You had your chance. Lights out.."
Five minutes later:
"Da-aaaad....."
"WHAT?"
"I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??"
"I told you NO!" If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!"
Five minutes later......
"Daaaa-aaaad....."
"WHAT!"
"When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?"
Another submitted story:
Ever notice how a 4 year old's voice is louder than 200 adult voices? Away From Home: Several years ago, I returned home from a trip just when a storm hit with crashing thunder and severe lightning. As I came into my bedroom about 2 a.m., I found my two children in bed with my wife, Karey, apparently scared by the loud storm. I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night.
The next day, I talked to the children and said it was O.K. to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night.
They said OK. After my next trip several weeks later, Karey and the children picked me up in the terminal. As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and came running shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!" As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news?" "Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" Alex shouted. The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at Alex, then turned to me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his Mom was.
I thought that since today is a special day-my twins birthday-that the theme of todays stories would center around our most precious resource, children.
So for those who have children, give them a humungous hug and tell them you love them, I am sure you already do this.
For those who have not yet partaked in the joys of parenthood, you don't know what you are missing.
