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
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 pole 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.

Dad replied, "Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today.
It was you, wasn't it son?"

The boy answered "Yes father". 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."
