He didn't want to go to school, but the reason for it is just the funniest

"Daddy, I don't want to go to school today," said young Matty. 

"Why not, son?" his father asked.

"Well, one of the chickens on the school farm died last week and we had chicken soup for lunch the next day. Then three days ago one of the pigs died and we had roast pork the next day." 

"But why don't you want to go today?" the dad asked, confused. 

"Because our English teacher died yesterday!"
