Massage

Easter Sunday, lying in bed.
Younger boy playing in my room.

I : Could I make a deal with you?

YB : Let's see.

I : 2 points for you if you massage me 2 mins.

YB : Alright. Deal.

I was lying flat in bed.
He was putting hands on my back.

YB : Wait, dad.

I : You're not changing your mind?

YB : No. Could you count for me?

I : Count?

YB : Yes. Like this.
That's how it goes for 2 min.
30 seconds for neck & back.
15 seconds for each arm.
30 seconds for each leg.
Tell me when time's up  for each part.

(Gosh, Massage's for Relaxing.
 How can one relax when counting?
 Alright...have to cheat a bit.
 Count  S....L...O....W!)

Idea

My Elder Boy & I were shocked.
Watching the Japanese Disaster.

Later that night, we had a chat.

EB : Dad, it could be the time..
to buy some Japanese Yen.


I : Why?

EB : Remember what'd happened..
in NZ recently?

I : Oh, yes, NZ had an earthquake.

EB : You told me NZ$ dropped...
very shortly after the earthquake.
But it soon rose back.

I : So, you think this could happen..
to Yen this time?

EB : Yes.

I : How much should I buy?

EB : Well, it's up to you.

I : But, it's your idea to buy.

EB : But you said there's always..
risks in any investment.

I : Alright. I'll take the risk.
I'll make a small buy.
What if Yen rises later.
Should I share profit with you?

EB : Yes, of course!

I : But it's me making the Decision.
It's my money buying the Yen.
Why should I share profit with you?

EB : But, you just said it,
It's my IDEA to buy.

I : O.K.
If there's a profit, it's split 50/50.
I'll donate my profit to a charity..
for Japanese Disaster Victims.

I : What do you mean?

EB : What about just tell me the news.
