One morning, a cheerful teacher decided to test her class with a few simple farm questions.
She smiled and asked, “Kids, what does the chicken give you?”
A boy in the front row shot his hand into the air. “Meat!”
“Excellent!” the teacher replied. “Now, what does the pig give you?”
Another student answered proudly, “Bacon!”
“Very good!” said the teacher, impressed by the class.
Feeling confident, she asked one last question.
“And what does the fat cow give you?”
The classroom went completely silent. Everyone stared at the ceiling, hoping someone else would answer.
Finally, little Tommy raised his hand with a huge grin.
“Homework!”
The teacher blinked. “Homework? How on earth did you come up with that?”
Tommy shrugged innocently.
“Every evening when I get home, my mom looks at my report card, points at my math book, and says, ‘Go ask your father for help.'”
The teacher looked confused.
Tommy continued, “Then Dad looks at the homework, sighs, points toward Mom, and says, ‘Go ask your mother.'”
The class burst into laughter.
The teacher smiled and asked, “But what does that have to do with a fat cow?”
Tommy grinned even wider.
“Because my dad always says, ‘Wait until your mother gets home!’ So whenever the fat cow comes home… I get homework!” 😂
