10.\tWell，I’ll tell you，his mother looked at him standing there expectantly，and boy，could I see the memories flashing through her mind. So she picked up the pen，turned over the paper he’d written on，and this is what she wrote：
11.\tFor the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me，No Charge.
12.\tFor all the nights that I’ve sat up with you，doctored and prayed for you，No Charge.
13.\tFor all the trying times，and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years，there’s No Charge.
14.\tFor all the nights that were filled with dread，and for the worries I knew were ahead，No Charge.
15.\tFor the toys，food，clothes，and even wiping your nose，there’s No Charge，Son.
16.\tWhen you add it all up，the cost of my love is No Charge.
17.\tWell，friends，when our son finished reading what his mother had written，there were great big old tears in his eyes，and he looked straight up at his mother and said：“Mom，I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote：“PAID IN FULL”.
1.\t一天晚上我们的小儿子来到厨房，他妈妈正在那儿做晚饭。他递给妈妈一张已经写好字的纸。妈妈在围裙上擦干手后，看到上面写着：
2.\t割草 ５美元
3.\t本周打扫自己的房间 １美元
4.\t替你跑商店 50美分
5.\t当你购物时看护小弟弟 ２５美分
6.\t倒垃圾 １美元
7.\t拿到优异的成绩单 ５美元
8.\t清理庭园并耙草、叶 ２美元
9.\t总计：14.75美元
10.\t好的，我告诉你，他妈妈看到他期待地站在边上，孩子，我怎么能想到。她灵光一闪，拿起笔，把那张纸翻过来，她写道：
11.\t在我肚子里怀你９个月，让你慢慢长大，一分都不收。
12.\t为你熬的每个夜晚，照料呵护你，一分都不收。
13.\t多年来由你引起的难熬时光以及为你流的泪，一分都不收。
14.\t为充满恐惧和担心的日日夜夜，一分都不收。
15.\t玩具、食物、衣服，还有给你擦鼻子，一分都没收，孩子。
16.\t当你把所有这些全部加起来时，我全部的真爱，一分都不收。
