A 7-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom. "You know
what?", says the 7-year-old, "I think it's about time we start swearing."
The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. "When we go downstairs for
breakfast I'm gonna say hell, and you say ass, OK?" "OK," the 4-year-old
agrees with enthusiasm.
The mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 7-year-old what he wants
for breakfast. He says, "Aw, hell Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."
WHACK!! He flew out of his chair, tumbled across the kitchen floor, got
up, and ran upstairs crying his eyes out. She looked at the 4-year-old
and asked with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young
man?!"
"I don't know", he blubbers, "but you can bet your ass it won't be
Cheerios."
