A Man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 yr. old son waiting for him at the door, “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure. What is it?” replied the father. “Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?” “That’s none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?” The father said angrily.
“I just wanted to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, it’s twenty dollars an hour.”
Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $9 please?”
The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you’re being selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don’t have time for such childish games.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The father sat down and started to get madder about his little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some cash? After an hour he calmed down. He started to think he might have been a little too hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $9. And he didn’t ask for money often.
The father went to his son’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked. “No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the father. “It’s been a long day and I took my aggravations out on you. Here’s the $9 you asked for.”
The little boy sat up straight, beaming. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he said. Then reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled bills. He counted the money, then looked up at his father.
“Why did you want more money if you already had some?” the father asked. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. ” Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?”

    Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)

    So, what was the search term that you used? Perhaps its not so unrelated. Perhaps that was my intention.

    What was your search term?

    Perhaps if I come up on a search engine listing first page on a search I didn’t intend, I’m not doing something right after all. Don’t you want relevant traffic when you are indexed? Or, do you think that its better for people to find you by accident? Which is the better and more predictable result in your opinion?

    I really want to know. So, what term brought you to me? Oh, wait. I bet it was JUST THE FACT THAT I HAVE AN RSS FEED and you just wanted a backlink. Sorry about your luck.

    Come back. Answer my question. You’ll get your link back. Have a nice day.

    Maybe they were searching the keywords “5 yr”, “Daddy”, “son”
