With Strings Attached
"To get what you desperately covet, you must go the extra mile!' - quote by poet
Let me tell you a story
About a tween mama's boy.
One fine day, unasked,
He suddenly started
Trimming all the hedges
On the front porch, a first.
It's a job always delegated
To his older brothers.
Mom looks on with amazement;
Pleasantly surprised.
She gives her youngest son
A kiss on the cheek
And says to him,
"Thank you, baby. You're doing a great job!"
After finishing the task,
Mom wraps her son in a snug embrace.
Then came the moment of truth.
"Mom?"
"Yes, hon," she replies.
"Could you please buy me an Xbox headset?"
