Five More Minutes... Something to share

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. "That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.

"He's a fine looking boy" the man said. "That's my son on the swing in the blue sweater." Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son. "What do you say we go, Todd?" Todd pleaded, "Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes."

My Little Girl

Besides my full-time job, I also teach part-timely at night in school. Recently, my daughter complained about my spending little time with her at home. To stop her, I told her that I was actually working to earn money to buy her a cash register machine (which I know is her dream gift) and I needed six big notes for that (she refers the RM50 note as ’big note’). Her face glowed but she promptly asked “How many big notes do you have now?” I said, “One... and I need five more”. She paused and genuinely added, “Well, I can bear with that. You can keep on teaching until you have collected six big notes, then”. She managed to put a smile on my face. This little girl certainly knows how to win my heart.
