Dressage father
A man is in the departure hall of New York J F K airport when he spotted an empty seat by a woman with 3 children with her, he approached them and asked if he can sit down by them, the woman , which was rather attractive and well groomed, nodded silently its OK if he can put up with the children constant racket. After about a minute one of the children burst into screams I want a burger , his mother hushed him down ,”Quiet I don't have any money” the man interrupted and said “ let me pay for it , it will be my pleasure” , the second child returned back from the duty free shop informing every body that he is not leaving the airport with out the latest version of play station which is on sale for £399, the expression on his mother’s face was “I have been here before here comes the mega tantrum “, the stranger put his hand into his pocket took out a wade of notes and said “ go get what you want it will give me a lot of pleasure to see you happy” the petulant child took the money with out a thank you and disappeared in to the Duty free shop.
The older sister, about 16 year old that until that moment was completely completely occupied with her smart phone, with out even looking at the man said “ if you think you can spend all this money on my brothers with out buying me the lovely dress on display in the Next shop you obviously don't know my family”
With out a hesitation the man gave her a credit card “ the pin number is xxxx” he said with a euphoric smile of complete contentment on his face.
He turned to the confused mother “Ohhhh I feel so much better”
The mother in return said “What is it all about there is nothing that I can do for you ”
“I dont want any thing in return “ he explained “ I am just a hard working Father who spends all his time away from home working so my family can indulge themselves with dressage horses and BD activities and some time I get so lonely and home sick that I need to spend a fortune and still be treated like a complete stranger to remind me of home”
