Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 One morning after having worked a late night shift, my mother made breakfast. She put a plate of eggs and burnt toast in front of my father.I immediately noticed the burnt toast and I was waiting to see if he was going to complain about it. But my father started to eat, smiling and asked me how I spent my day at school.My mom apologized to my dad for the burnt toast. I will never forget his response to her: "Honey, I love burnt toast!"Later when I went to bed and my dad came over to kiss me goodnight, I asked him if he really liked the burnt toast?He hugged me and said, "Your mother had a difficult day and she is really tired. She went out of her way to prepare this meal for us, why blame her and hurt her. Burnt toast never hurt anyone; but words can be very painful! "We have to know how to appreciate what others do for us, even if it's not perfect, because it's the intention to do well that counts, and no one is perfect.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If my mom burnt the toast she would scrape it off and we would eat it. No waste here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Your dad was a true gentleman and, I might add, he appears to have been a mighty fine husband, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
