Never swear at Mom

Two brothers, one five years old and the other 4 years old, were talking upstairs in their bedroom.....


"You know what?" says the 5 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 5 year old what he wants for breakfast.

"Ah 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. The mother 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."
