A father brings his son home from the hospital for the first time.

he says "you are going to be a great person"

 

A few years pass, and he graduated pre-k. The father asks "You did a good job at school kiddo! What do you want as a graduation gift?"

His son replies "I want 10 pink Ping-Pong balls."

The father scratches his head, but says "OK, well if that's what you want..."

 

A year passes and the son graduates kindergarten. The father asks "what do you want this year?"

To which, the son replies "I want 100 pink Ping-Pong balls."

The father replies with "is that really what you want?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, ok."

 

Five more years pass and the son graduates elementary school. "You did great getting straight A's, champ! How do you want to celebrate?"

"I want 1000 pink Ping-Pong balls!"

The father sits for a moment, trying to understand why his son wants the Ping-Pong balls, but gives in to his son.

 

Three more years pass and middle school is over...

"So, do you want to go work on getting your permit, son?"

"No, I want 10000 pink Ping-Pong balls!"

"Why do you want Ping-Pong balls?"

"It's a secret. I'll tell you later."

 

Four more years...

"OK, you graduated High School, so do you want to go get a car?"

"I want 100000 pink Ping-Pong balls."

"I should have guessed as much..."

 

After 8 more years, the son now has a doctorate in Foreign disease control & treatment, and his father couldn't be happier.

"I'll get you a car, a house, anything! Just not Ping-Pong balls..."

"We'll, I want 1,000,000 pink Ping-Pong balls."

His father buys the Ping-Pong balls, and on goes there lives.

 

The son has decided to travel to South Africa to help treat dying people. The father gets a call from his son and answers quickly. "Hello?"

"Dad, I met a woman here, and we're getting married."

"That's great news son, and I'm gonna guess you want 10,000,000 pink Ping-Pong balls?"

"Exactly! Thank you so much!"

 

A year passes, and the father receives a call.

"Dad? We have just had a beautiful baby girl!"

"I know, I know. I'll get the 100,000,000 pink Ping-Pong balls."

"You're the best, dad."

 

Two years later, the father received horrific news of a disease that has developed recently, and his son is on his deathbed. Being in all of the debt from all the pink Ping-Pong balls, the community raised money for him to go to see his son in Africa. He makes it to the hospital and confronts his son, looking worse than he thought.

"Son? Is everything going to be OK?"

"The doctor said I only have a few days to live. I want to tell you that you are the best dad ever."

"And you are the best son a father could have. I'd like to know one thing before you go. Why did you want so many pink Ping-Pong balls?"

"Well, you see, it's actually a funny story. The reason I wanted all those Ping-Pong balls was-"
