Joseph's folly
I woke up later than Joseph this morning and found a surprise in the bathroom, I asked him,"Why is there a box of kitchen matches in the bathroom, what have you been doing?" He said, "I needed them for my invention and you said I could use them. I said, "I don't remember telling you that you could use matches". He said, "Yes, you did, last night. " I needed them to light the fire for my steam boat invention in the bathtub because If the water isn't hot, it wont make steam and them my invention wont work!!....
What are the lessons I've learned from this? ... I've got to wake up before the boy and I need to hide the matches. Somebody should break it to the boy that excluding power plants, steam power has come and gone...
