funny for today

[Korinne]

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 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. To his surprise, 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."

Dad replied, "Well, son, George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry

tree".
