Don't kick the cat

[reelapeelin]

A little boy comes down to breakfast. Since his family lives on

a farm, his mother asks if he has 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 ticked, 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?"
