Daughter: Mummy, please manage with this Kshs 20,000/-, when I get to Nairobi I will send something again. (And she gave her mother Kshs 20,000/- and put another Kshs 10,000/- inside envelope and drop it under the pillow on the bed).
Mother: Thank you my daughter, but what about the one you put under the pillow on the bed?
Daughter: I want to give that to my father.
Mother: How much is that?
Daughter: Kshs 10,000/- mummy.
Mother: Haa, is that not too much for your father. Do you think he needs money, Kshs 5,000/- is okay for him.
Daughter: Mummy are you sure Kshs 5,00.00/- is okay for him?
Mother : Yes. After all he just collected his Kshs 20,000/- pension allowance on Friday.
Daughter Thank you for the advice mummy (She then removed Kshs 5,000/- from the money and put it back into her bag.) Carry the envelope and she get out of her mother's room and went to meet her father in the sitting room.
Daughter: Daddy, I am going back to Nairobi. Please, take this token from me Sir.
Father: How much is that? The father asked without collecting the money from her.
Daughter : Kshs 5,000/- Daddy. She replied.
Father: Thank you my daughter, please, go and add it to the money you gave to your mother. Don't you know that I was about to enter the room when your mother was advising you that Kshs 10,000/- is too much for me.
So Kshs 10,000/- is too much for me now but it was not too much for me when I was single handedly responsible for your school fees from your elementary school to your second degree and paying your hostel fees in the secondary school and your pocket money throughout your university education.
Please, I don't need money as she rightly said.
Daughter: Crying, and went back to meet her mother in the room. Mummy, you see what you have caused now, after I have given you Kshs 20,000/- you said Kshs 10,000/- is too much for my father.
MOTHERS, ALLOW AND ADVISE YOUR CHILDREN TO CARE AND LOVE THEIR FATHERS TOO.
Most especially those fathers that denied themselves the comforts of life to ensure their children did not lack and are properly cared for.
Take note........!!!!
