I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __26__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __27__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __28__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __29__ with his homework or he was trying to __30__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __31__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __32__.”
The next day I called his teacher to __33__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __34__.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the __35__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __36__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __37__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __38__. It’s something all human beings __39__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __40__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __41__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __42__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __43__ second. And just __44__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __45__.

Service adviser Olivia was busy 42 paper work and customers as we explained our problems. 43 there were already “ten cars behind”, he told us to 44 the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later 45 was one of the top motor technicians, took 46 of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing, 47_ the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was 48 closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only 49 .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our 50 that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an 51 of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon.
