A farmer drove over to his neighbor’s house and knocked on the door.
A 9-year-old boy answered.
“Hey there, is your mom or dad home?” the farmer asked.
“Nope, they went to town,” the boy replied.
“How about your brother Howard? Is he around?”
“Nope, he went with them.”
The farmer stood there awkwardly for a moment, shifting from one foot to the other. The boy, noticing his hesitation, offered, “I know where all the tools are if you need to borrow one. Or I can give Dad a message!”
The farmer sighed. “Well, uh… I really need to talk to your dad. It’s about your brother Howard… he got my daughter Suzy pregnant!”
The boy thought for a second and shrugged. “Hmm. You’ll have to ask Dad about that. I know he charges $50 for the bulls and $15 for the pigs, but I have no idea what he charges for Howard!”
