Little Johnny’s Chores

Little Johnny comes down to breakfast.  Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he has done his chores.

"Not yet," says Little Johnny.

Chicken

His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores.  Well, he's a little pissed off, so he goes off 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.

Nurse

He goes back in for his breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal.

"How come I don’t get any eggs and bacon?  And 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.

Little Johnny looks up at his mother with a smile, and says: "Are you going to tell him, or should I?"
