Once there was a little boy that lived in the country. His family had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was always hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and it stunk all the time. The outhouse was located 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. The little boy decided that 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 he was going to get 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 that yes, he had done it. 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.”
