A rancher got in his pick-up and drove to the neighboring ranch and knocked on the door. A young boy about 9 years old answered the door.
"Is yer Pa home?" the rancher asked.
"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied."He went into town."
"Well," said the rancher,"Is yer ma at home?"
"Naw, she ain't here neither. She went to town with Pa."
"How 'bout your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"Naw, he went to town with Ma and Pa."
The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do fer ya?" asked the boy.
" I know where all the tools are, if ya need to borry one. Or I could jest take down a message fer Pa."
"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably,"I really wanted to talk to yer Pa. It's about yer brother Howard gettin' my daughter Pearly Mae pregnant."
The boy considered this for a moment. "You'd have to talk to Pa about that, but if it helps any, I do know that Pa charges $500 fot the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gits fer Howard."
"Is yer Pa home?" the rancher asked.
"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied."He went into town."
"Well," said the rancher,"Is yer ma at home?"
"Naw, she ain't here neither. She went to town with Pa."
