A farm boy gets up early one morning and finds himself very hungry. So he hurries downstairs to get his breakfast.

When he reaches the kitchen, he finds his mom already there. "Not so fast, young man" she says; "You won't get breakfast until you're chores are done!"

Perturbed, the boy stomps out of the house to do his chores. On the way to the barn, he shoves the cow out of his way. Then he kicks the rooster in his frustration. At the pig pen, he pulls the sow's ears.

Finally he finishes his chores and returns to the kitchen to get his breakfast.

His mom says, "I saw you shove the cow, and for that you won't have milk for breakfast. I also saw you kick the rooster; for that, no eggs. And I saw you pull the sow's ears; for that, no bacon.

At that very moment, the little boy's Dad walks through the door and trips over the cat. Pissed off, he kicks the cat across the room.

The little boy looks up to his Mom and says, "Are you going to tell him or am I?"
