Out House Confession
Once there was a little boy who lived in the country.
For facilities, they had to use an outhouse, and the little boy
hated it because it was hot in the summer, 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 water.
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 pushed. 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...
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 wasn't
in that cherry tree!!"
