To Tell the Truth

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 becauseit 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 determinedthat one day he would push that outhouse into the creek. One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so the little boydecided 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 aftersupper. 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 acherry 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." Thanks Ronda
