It was his son's 3rd birthday, so this man walks up to his son and asks, "Well son, it's you're three now. What do you want for your birthday?"
"Pink Ping pong balls!"
Well, that seemed a bit unusual, but the kid kept saying the same thing, so the father went down to the local sports store, found a package of pink ping pong balls and gave them to his son.
Christmas rolls around, and the father goes back to his son.
"Son, what do you want for Christmas?"
The little boys looks up at his father. "Pink ping pong balls, dada."
So the father, only slightly worried, goes and buys some pink ping pong balls. The boy proclaims it, "the bwest Christmas evar," so the father is satisfied. Sure, the kids a little odd, but he seems happy...
Next year.
"Son, your birthday coming up in a couple of weeks. Anything you want? A new action figure, a toy truck?"
"Pink ping pong balls."
"Are you sure? I mean, there are other things I can get you."
"No. Want pink ping pong balls."
So the father goes down to the store and gets the kid his pink ping pong balls. At this point he's starting to get pretty worried about his son. Still...
Chirstmas, same year. The father starts off the season by showing his son all of the new toys, and gets a large lego set without consulting his son. The mother buys a package of pink ping pong balls, just in case. On Christmas, when the boy starts crying because he didn't get any pink ping pong balls, the mother quickly pulls out another present and hands it to the boy.
"Pink ping pong balls!"
Fifth year, same child, same wish. Yet more pink ping pong balls.
"Why son? Why? What's so important about pink ping pong balls?"
The child doesn't answer.
Next year, the father gives up. He buys a case of pink ping pong balls for his son, hoping the child will soon get tired of them. The plan doesn't work.
Seventh year, the father decides to try a little bit of variation. He buys a package of colored ping pong balls for his son's birthday. Some are green, some are blue, but none of them are pink. The boy accepts the gift politely, but is so depressed the mother goes off and buys him some pink ping pong balls to cheer him up. "Pink ping pong balls!"
The father doesn't even try anything come Christmas. He just picks up a package of pink ping pong balls on the way home from work three days before.
Year eight, the family has a new child - a girl. The father doesn't spend much time with his son. He just grabs a couple of packages of pink ping pong balls and gives them to his son. The child seems happy.
Year nine, still busy with the girl, same thing happens. The boy has no complaints.
Year ten. Thankfully, the girl turned out a little more - um - standard. Dolls and such. The father just throws a package of pink ping pong balls at his son on the holidays.
This continues for some time, all the way until the child's 24th year. He would accept other gifts, but he always had to have at least one pink ping pong ball. No matter what they did, the parents could never find out why their child wanted pink ping pong balls, what he did with them, or why he enjoyed them more than the car they gave him on his 18th birthday.
Well, at this time, the boy has had a girlfriend for the past year. Their marrage is a few months away when a routine checkup reveals that the boy has stage 4 cancer. He's only expected to last a few weeks. Well, the boy struggles on, manages to survive a month, but things are looking bleak. The father goes into the hospital room and looks at his son. The boy's eyes blink open.
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Hows things going? Everyone *cough* everyone alright?"
"Yeah, son. Just rest. Things will get better."
"No they won't"
"Sure they will."
A few days later, the doctors tell the man that his son is getting better. So the man walks into the hospital room and asks his son what he would like as a get-well present.
"Do you even need to ask?"
"No, I guess not. Tell you what - I'll get you some pink ping pong balls if you tell me why you want them so much."
"Deal." The two shake hands.
So the father goes out, buys a package of pink ping pong balls. He returns and gives them to his son.
"So why do you always want pink ping pong balls?"
"Well, because -"
The kid flatlines.
