a lesson from mom

[Guest guest]

A little boy comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a farm,> his mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said the little boy.>> His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores. Well, he's a> little pissed, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He> goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, andhe> kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl> of dry cereal.>> "How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk> in my cereal?" he asks.>> "Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get any> eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon for a> week either. I also saw you kick the cow, so for a week you aren't getting> any milk.">> Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat half> way across the kitchen.>> The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says, "Are you> going to tell him, or should I?"
