No Soup For You
Little Dave comes down to breakfast.
Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he had done his chores. “Not yet,” said Little Dave. His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores. Well, Little Dave is a little pissed off,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. “Little Dave,” 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 saw you kick the cow so for a week you aren't getting any milk.” Just then, his father Bill comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat halfway across the kitchen. Dave looks up at his mother with a smile, and says, “You gonna tell him or should I?”
