(I received this on parents night from Nate's teachers and thought it was awesome.)
"I got two A's !'s" the small boy cried
His voice was filled with glee
His father bluntly asked,
"Why didn't you get three?"
"Mom, I've got the dishes done, "
the girl called from the door
Her mother very calmly said,
"Did you sweep the floor?"
"I've mowed the grass, " the tall boy said,
"And put the mower away"
The father looking at his feet and rug said,
"Didn't you clean off the clay?"
The children in the house next door seem happy and content
The same things happen over there BUT this is how it went.
"I got all A's" the small boy cried
His voice was filled with glee
His father proudly said, "That's great!"
"I'm glad you belong to me."
"Mom, I've got the dishes done,"
the girl called from the door
Her mother smiled and softly said
"Each day I love you more."
"I've mowed the grass," the tall boy said
"And put the mower away"
His father answered with much joy,
"Son, you have made my day"
Children deserve a little praise for the tasks they're asked to do.
If they're to lead a happy life, SO MUCH DEPENDS ON YOU!
