A little boy comes down for breakfast and his mother asks if he
had done his chores. "Not yet," says the little boy. His mother
tells him that until he completes them, he won't be getting any
breakfast.
Well, he's a little angry, so he goes to feed the chickens and
kicks one. He goes to feed the cows, and kicks one too. He
goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig as well.
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?"
