Story of the Outhouse


There was a little boy who lived in the country.

The family still used an outhouse and the little boy hated it because it was so hot in
the summer, freezing cold in the winter and smelled all the time.

The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy was determined that
one day he would push that old outhouse straight into the creek.

So, one day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen and the little boy decided today
was the day to push the outhouse into the creek.
He found a large pole and started pushing.
Finally, after much effort, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated away.

That night his dad told him they were going to the woodshed after supper.

The boy knew that meant a spanking ... so he 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 probably wasn't in the
cherry tree!"
