Owning Up
An angry father demanded of his three sons, "Own up! Which of you stood up there and emptied a chamber pot straight into the river just now?"
The boys remained silent. Their father continued, "Remember the story of Washington and the cherry tree. When he was about your age, he foolishly chopped down a cherry tree, but he confessed to his father. His father was very proud of him."
Hearing this, the first boy admitted it. His father sighed and picked up a cane to give him a few strokes.
"Dad!" the boy protested. "You just said Washington's father forgave him when he owned up!"
"Yes, but Washington's father wasn't up in the tree when he chopped it down."
