Loved it.... it is a modern take on that song out in the 80's by Tammy Wynnette

Now our little boy came up to his mom
In the kitchen this evenin' while she was fixin' supper
And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron
She read it, and this is what it said.

For mowin' the lawn, five dollars
For makin' my own bed this week, one dollar
And for goin' to the store, fifty cents
An' playin' with little brother while you went shoppin', twenty-five cents.

Takin' out the trash, one dollar
Gettin' a good report card, five dollars
And for rakin' the yard, two dollars
Total owed, fourteen seventy-five.

Well, as mom looked at him standin' there expectantly
And I could see the mem'ries flashing through her mind
And so she picked up the pen, and turnin' the paper over
This is what she wrote.

For the nine months I carried you growin' inside me, no charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, and prayed for you, no charge
For the time and the tears
That you've cost through the years, there's no charge
And when you add it all up
The full cost of my love is no charge.

For the nights filled with dread
And all the worries ahead, no charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college, no charge
For the toys, food and clothes and even for wipin' your nose
There's no charge, son
And when you add it all up
The full cost of my love is, no charge.

Well, when he finished readin'
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at her standing there and said
Mama, I sure do love you
Then he took the pen,
And in great big letters
He wrote PAID IN FULL.

Lord knows when you add it all up
The cost of real love is, no charge...

Thanks for the laugh... love and hugs....Lisa x x x

Hehehe,that's funny.I  can kind of see myself in it to,i wanted to grow up to fast and in some ways i did.

I've definitely had a conversation along these lines several times at my house already! So exasperating! But I remember myself when I was a kid (not even necessarily a teenager) wanting to grow up so fast because all I saw was how Mom and Dad had no rules and could do whatever they want and got to stay up late etc, etc. Dad going to work every day and Mom making meals and doing housework all the time just didn't even cross my radar as the hard part!

good one!

Thats brilliant thanks for sharing it

Emz

thats a good one.. HAHA..

 Good on the Mom, go girl go !!!!......loved it what a hoot.

PMSL  I think i've had a similar conversation with my teen and tween!!!! 

ROFL.  Yeah, children are told about their rights, but they never think there are consequences for not living by the parents rules!  Nor do they think who finances their existance!  Child 1/2 point, Parent 10 points! lol.

Pretty funny!
