Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

THE TWO LITTLE BOYS MARCHED HOME FROM FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
AS THE TWO WENT UPSTAIRS, THE OLDER ONE WAS CUSSING
UP AND DOWN, BACK AND FORTH. THE MOTHER WAS JUST
SHOCKED. WHEN THE HUSBAND CAME HOME, THE WIFE
COMPLAINED, "WE'LL, JUST HAVE TO CRACK DOWN ON THEM."
THE NEXT DAY AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE, THE MOTHER ASKED
THE TWO WHAT THEY WANTED FOR BREAKFAST. THE OLDER
BOY SAID, "I GUESS I'LL HAVE THOSE GODDAMN CORNFLAKES
AGAIN." WITH THAT, THE MOTHER CRACKED THE BOY SO HARD, HE FELL OFF THE CHAIR. SHE STARED AT THE LITTLE
FELLOW AND SCOWLED, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" HE
REPLIED, "YOU CAN BET YOUR SWEET FANNY IT WON'T BE CORN
FLAKES!"
