As the boys are seating themselves at the breakfast table, their mother walks in and asks her older son what he would like to eat for breakfast. The seven-year-old replies, «Aw hell, mom, I\'ll just have some cornflakes.»
WHACK!
The seven-year-old runs upstairs, bawling and rubbing his behind.
With a sterner note in her voice, the mother then asks the younger son,
«And what would YOU like for breakfast?»
«I don\'t know!» the four-year-old blubbers. «But you can bet your ass it\'s not gonna be cornflakes!»

It\'s career day at school and the teacher instructs his students each to stand up, state their parents occupation, spell it and then tell what their parents would do if they were here today.
Little Rodney stands up and says," My father is an accountant, A-C–C-O-U-N-T-A-N-T, and if he were here today, he would help you balance your checkbook."
«Good Rodney,» says the teacher. «How about you, Johnny?»
Johnny stands up and stammers, "My father is an electrician, E-L-E-K-T, no, no, E-L-E-C-K-T no … L-E-C-H-
no… "
The teacher interrupts, «Never mind, Johnny, sit down. How about you, Vinnie?»
Vinnie stands up and says, «My dad\'s a bookie, that\'s B-O-O-K-I-E, and if he were here today he\'d give you ten to one odds that there\'s no way Johnny\'s ever gonna spell electrician!»

The little boy wasn\'t getting good marks in school. One day he made the teacher quite surprised. He tapped her on the shoulder and said, "I don\'t want to scare you, but my daddy says if I don\'t get better grades… somebody is going to get a spanking… "

Two five-year-old boys are standing at the potty to pee. One says, «Your thing doesn\'t have any skin on it!»
«Well, I\'ve been circumcised,» answered the other one. «Huh, what\'s that mean?» asked the first boy. «It means they cut the skin off the end,» said the second one. The first boy was very puzzled, «How old were you when it was cut off?»
The second boy replied, «My Mom said I was only two days old.»
«Wow, did it hurt?» the first boy wondered. The second boy responded without hesitation, «You bet it hurt… I couldn\'t walk for a year!»
