Self-Appraisal (Nice story)

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 ten-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): 'I'll even sweepyour 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!'
