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?"
