Today the TV service man was in my house for about 2 hours, struggling with my TV set. Halfway through his work my son walked in. He asked "Is that your son?" I said, "Yes. How many children do you have?" He said "I do not have any children. I had been married for 15 years but I have no children". I said "Why don't you adopt?" He said, "Yes, I have 3 adopted children". I said "You have 3 children, why did you say you have no children?" He said "It is not the same". I said, " When you decide to adopt you must accept your adopted children as your own flesh and blood. Next time, don't ever say you have no children". He stopped his repair works, took a sip of water, looked at me in a serious manner and said " I will always remember what you just said. Thank you".
