recent posts here bring it to mind, as well as the time of the season:
One Halloween night, some pranksters tumped over the farmer's outhouse. The following morning, the farmer questioned his son, who had been out the night before.
"Son, last night somebody tumped over our outhouse. Would you happen to have been in on that?" the man inquired.
The son took a deep breath, "Yes, Sir. I helped do it." the boy 'fessed up.
The dad took is son out to the woodshed for some instruction in procedures. Afterwards the boy sobbed, "You always told me to tell the truth. You told about how as a boy George Washington chopped down the cherry tree. Then he confessed to his pa and he didn't whip him because he told the truth."
"Son," the man explained, "George Washington's daddy wasn't in that tree."
