"Pet Turtle" joke

Ricky ran into the kitchen sobbing and cradling something in his hands. "Mommy, my turtle's dead," he sobbed, as he held the turtle out to his mother.
His mother kissed him on the head and said, "That's all right. We'll wrap him in tissue paper and put him in a little box. Then we'll have a nice burial ceremony in the back yard. After that, we'll go out for an ice cream soda, then to the pet store to get you a new pet. I don't want you... " Her voice trailed off as she noticed the turtle move. "Ricky, your turtle isn't dead after all."
"Oh," the disappointed boy said. "Can I kill it?"
