Fwd: How true is this
I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when
she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of
her parents, ANC supporters, were standing there, so I asked her, "If
you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents smiled hugely.
"Wow...what a worthy goal." I told her, "But you don't have to wait
until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house for a
morning and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay
you R100. Then I'll take you over to the supermarket where the
homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the R100 to use toward
food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight
in the eye and asked: "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do
the work, and you can just pay him the R100?"
I said, "Welcome to the DA!"
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
