A young lad living on a farm was awakened early one morning by his mother to go and do his chores before breakfast. Tired and grumpy he sleepily lumbered down the stairs griping with every step. The Mother watched as her son trotted across the yard and into the barn yard. The animals all being hungry eagerly met him at the fence pushing their way past each other to greet him. Feeling overwhelmed the young lad first kicked the chicken saying “dumb chicken”. But proceeded on to gather the eggs and spread some corn. Moving along with his chores he proceeded to the hog stalls where he slopped the hogs, but before walking away he kicked one “dumb pig”. His chores were almost done but he still needed to milk the cow. Stomping into the cows stall he flopped down on the milking bench raising a leg and giving her a kick, once again complained “dumb cow”. Since the mother had been watching all of his actions from the kitchen window, she calmly waited for him to return to the house for breakfast. When the young lad sat down at the table his mother presented him with a bowl of dry cereal. Confused he looked up and asked what that was about. The mother replied, “Well son, you can’t have any eggs because you kicked the chicken, there will be no bacon because you kicked the pig, and by kicking the cow you forfeited your right to have milk. Knowing he had done wrong he settled in to eat his bowl of dry cereal. Shortly after he started eating his father came down the stairs, tripped over the cat, which he kicked out of the way. Calmly he peered up over his bowl at his mother and said “Do you wanna tell him or should I?”
