The Outhouse ...
Once there was a little boy that lived
in the country. They
had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it
because it was hot in
the summer and cold in the winter and stank all the
time.
The outhouse
was
sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy had
determined that one day he
would push that outhouse into the creek.
One day
after a spring rain, the
creek was swollen so the little boy decided today
was the day to push the
outhouse into the creek. So he got a large stick and
started pushing.
Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and
floated away.
That night
his dad told him they were going to the woodshed
after supper. Knowing
that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why. The
dad replied,
'Someone
pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was
you, wasn't it son?' The
boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said,
'Dad, I read in
school today that George Washington chopped down a
cherry tree and didn't
get into trouble because he told the truth.' The dad
replied, 'Well, son,
George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry
tree.'
