Appropriate Punishment

Through the kitchen window a farmer's wife sees her son coming home from school. The boy's in a bad mood, and as he crosses the field he kicks a pig. He walks a little further and kicks a cow. Once inside, his mother says:

- I saw what you did, young man! For kicking the pig you'll get no bacon for a week, and for kicking the cow, no milk for a week.

Just at that moment, the boy's father walks through the door and boots the cat halfway across the room.

The boy looks at his mother and says:

- Do you wanna tell him, or should I?
