"Self Appraisal"

A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
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 than 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 the floor and the stairs of your house for free.

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!"  

 
This is called 

"Self Appraisal"
