A Boy & his Shovel

During recess, a young boy sat with his pail and shovel sculpting something out of dog feces.  The bell rang and boy continued to build and play ignoring his teacher's request to come back inside.  When the teacher saw him covered in excrement, she asked what he was doing.  "I'm making a teacher," replied the boy.  Insulted, the teacher stormed off and went to the principal.   When the principal return, he too asked the boy what he was doing.  "Making a principal," said the boy.  Infuriated by the lad's insolence, the principal called the boy's father.

The father, an executive at a well known social media company, calmly assessed the situation.  "I know what you are making," said the father, "You're making a social media CEO."  The boy carefully looked at his sculpture and the pile of waste before him and exclaimed, "No, I don't have enough shit."
