flambouyant boy

 A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a                        

 Soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone.

 

He                       

 Climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the                        

 Buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven                      

 Digits (phone numbers).                                                   

                                                                           

 The store-owner observed and listened to the                              

 Conversation:                                                             

                                                                            

 Boy: "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your            

 Lawn?                                                                     

 

 Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): "I                            

 Already have someone to cut my lawn."                                     

                                                                           

 Boy: "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of                    

 The person who cuts your lawn now."                                       

 

 Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is                         

 Presently cutting my lawn.                                                

                                                                            

 Boy: (with more perseverance): "Lady, I'll even sweep                     

 Your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will                        

 Have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida                    

 ."                                                                        

 

 Woman: No, thank you.                                                     

                                                                           

 With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the              

 Receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all                       

 This walked over to the boy.                                             

                                                                            

 Store Owner: "Son... I like your attitude; I like that                

 Positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."                       

 Boy: "No thanks,                                                           

                                                                           

 Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one.                        

 Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the                    

 Job I already have. I am the one who is working for                       

 That lady, I was talking to!"
