   Thor thinks that Georgie’s father was just being prudent (see? That virtue, prudence, is the moral of the story, not honesty!)

   The prudent theory makes more sense.

   He wasn’t punished because his father asked George to get him a prune.

   I allways wondered why George chopped down the stupid tree. Did he not like cherrys or something?

   I just googled it apparently it’s a Myth dreamt up by some cat by the name of Mason Weems who wrote a book about George Washington after he died.

   Little Georgie took an axe
   And gave the tree forty whacks
   And when his father saw what he had done
   He spanked his little bum.

   Johnny’s dad asked him who pushed over the outhouse. (Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.) Little Johnny said, “I cannot tell a lie… I did it.” Upon which, his dad put him over his knee and delivered ten of his best. Afterward, Johnny asked his dad why he’d spanked him when he told the truth, like George Washington did after chopping down the cherry tree, and HIS dad hadn’t punished him. Ol’ dad responded after some thought, “Well, son, George’s dad wasn’t sitting in the cherry tree when it went over!”

    A viking father is proud the first time his son threatens him with an axe.

    Well if it had been little George Bush.

    “An apple hit me on the head yesterday Dad…and we have hard intelligence that it came from the cherry tree.”

    My grand dad gave me this very ax of little George Washington’s. Of course, his pappy had the handle split when he was chopping firewood, so it had to be replaced. And his grand dad broke the head on a rock, so he had to put on a new head. But I’ve got that very ax in my garage to pass along to my son some day.

    Just because I like filks to match the original scansion:

    Little Georgie took an axe
    And gave the poor tree forty whacks
    When father saw what he had done
    He spanked him on his little bum.
