Leaning against my parents’ wardrobe(衣柜) in the bedroom, I, six years old then, __41__ to their casual talk about budgets and paychecks. I __42__ that my family was poor.

Their money talk continued, and a thought __43__ me: Dad had to __44__ for me. While the story of my birth ranked as a bedtime favorite, I had never considered hospital bills, the meals I’d eaten, or the __45__ of my clothes.

“Daddy,” I interrupted, “how much did I cost?” “Oh, let me see. About a million dollars.”

A million dollars! Because of me, Dad __46__ two jobs. Because of me, he wore __47__ jeans, drove an old car, and had his shoes __ 48__ over and over again.

I went to the kitchen. From a shelf, I took my granny-shaped __49__, which held every penny I owned – seven dollars. I pulled the bank’s plug out, and __50__ the coins into my hand. I had often __ 51__ with these coins in secret and I felt secure pleasure in just knowing they were there.

“Here,” I said. “Maybe this will __54__ to pay for me.”

“What?” Dad’s confused look __55__ my own. Didn’t he remember what he’d said? Didn’t the sight of me __56__ him of how much I cost?

My tear-filled eyes, which I couldn’t seem to take off the bank, finally made __57__ to him.

Dad knelt down and pulled me __58__ . “You didn’t cost a million dollars, but you’re __59__ a million million dollars. And if that’s what I’d have to pay for you, I would do it.”

Today, I often pull out this memory, think about it and feel the __60__ weight of it in my heart.
