Teenage kid wakes up and has to start his chores (ok maybe no longer realistic).
Walks to the barn and kicks a chicken out of the way, throws the slop bucket outside of the hog pen, and then slaps the cow before he starts milking.
He comes back inside and his Mom looks at him and is disappointed. Says I saw what you did and that's not appropriate. Since you kicked the chicken no eggs for a month, since you didn't feed the pig no bacon or ham for a month, and since you slapped the cow no milk for a month. Kid is shocked.
About that time his Dad comes downstairs and almost trips over the cat at the bottom of stairs, as he's fussing he swings his jacket at the cat. Kid looks at his Mom and says "you want to tell him or you want me to"
