The neighbor's two sons ...
The neighbor's two sons ... one five and the other seven ... are constantly squabbling. The seven-year-old is thrilled when he succeeds in taunting his younger brother.
Friday was the last day of school for the older lad. According to his mother, he hadn't been in the house more than a couple minutes when she heard the five-year-old screaming. When the crying youngster reached the kitchen, he shouted, "It's not fair. Bill has one and I don't. I want one too."
"What is it?" asked the mother while trying to comfort her child. "What does Bill have that you don't have?"
By this time, Bill had come to the kitchen and was leaning against the doorway. He had a funny smile on his face and said, "A summer vacation. It told him I get one and he doesn't."
