A young 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 annoyed, 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, and he 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.

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 in a bad mood and
kicks the cat halfway 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?
