Self assessment..too good

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 Assessment"
