THAT'S NOT MY JOB (FUNNY STORY)
|
Posted By: Siebra Muhammad on March 12, 2009 Last night my 12 year-old niece began to complain about doing the dishes. She's a good child who never gave me a moment's worth of trouble so far, never got into fights and the like, but when she began to complain, I told her a story I learned as a teenager: This is the story of four people named ANYBODY, SOMEBODY, EVERYBODY, and NOBODY. There was an important project to be done, and EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it. NOBODY did it. So SOMEBODY got mad about that, because it was EVERYBODY's job. It turns out that EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY because NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have. (You know it worked!!!)
