I found this on the internet and couldn't pass it up, so here it is:
A boy and his father were playing catch in the front yard when the boy saw a honey bee. He ran over and stomped it. "That was a honey bee," his father said, "who is one of our friends. For stomping him, you will do without honey for a week."
Later the boy saw a butterfly so he ran over and stomped it. "That was a butterfly," his father said, "who is one of our friends, and for stomping him you will do without butter for a week."
The next morning the family had sat down for breakfast. The boy ate his plain toast. Suddenly a cockroach ran from under the stove. His mother stomped it.
The boy looked at his father and said, "Are you going to tell her or should I?"
