Family Showdown
The father grabbed his son’s attention away from his overbearing mother and said, “Go now before it gets too late or you’ll miss her. If you let this young lady get away you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. It makes no difference whether your mother will accept her or not. Here, take this money and my credit card and get going now.”
The boy responded, “Dad, I don’t want your money, only you’re blessing.”
The dad, somewhat choked up, said, “My dear son, you already had my admiration. My blessing is freely given to you with joy.”
