my grandmother sent me this...
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 mad, 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.
"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
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?"
