I don’t want you to love me- I want you to have some fun with me!
A father came home from work and his young daughter met him at the driveway. “Daddy, you’re home!” she said with a big smile. “Daddy, can you take me somewhere fun? Her father flippantly responded, “I have too much work to do, I don’t have time…I will tomorrow. But you know that I love you” His little daughter replied, Daddy, I don’t want you to love me, I want you to have fun with me!”
This story puts in perspective the saying “Actions speak louder than words.”
I had a great time yesterday with two of my children at Chuck E Cheeses… and there also was enough time to stop by and say hello to grandma and grandpa.
I guess it comes down to this: It’s a lot less about what we say and more about what we do that counts.
