A married
woman is having an affair. Whenever her lover comes
over,
she puts her nine year old son in the closet. One day the
woman
hears a car in the driveway and puts her lover in the
closet,
as well.
Inside
the closet, the little boy says, "It`s dark in here, isn`t
it?"
"Yes it is," the man replies.
"You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks.
"No thanks," the man replies.
"I think
you do want to buy a baseball," the little extortionist
continues.
"OK. How
much?" the man replies after considering the position he
is in.
"Twenty-five dollars," the little boy replies.
"TWENTY-FIVE
DOLLARS?!" the man repeats incredulously, but
complies
to protect his hidden position.
The following
week, the lover is visiting the woman again when
she hears
a car in the driveway and, again, places her lover in
the closet
with her little boy.
"It`s dark in here, isn`t it?" the boy starts off.
"Yes it is," replies the man.
"Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks.
"OK. How
much?" the hiding lover responds, acknowledging his
disadvantage.
"Fifty
dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is
completed.
The next
weekend, the little boy`s father says "Hey, son. Go get
your ball
and glove and we`ll play some catch."
"I can`t. I sold them," replies the little boy.
"How much
did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to
hear the
profit in terms of lizards and candy.
"Seventy-five dollars," the little boy says.
"SEVENTY-FIVE
DOLLARS?! That`s thievery! I`m taking you to the
church
right now. You must confess your sin and ask for
forgiveness",
the father explains as he hauls the child away.
At the
church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws
the curtain,
sits down, and says "It`s dark in here, isn`t it?"
"Don`t
you start that shit in here now," the priest says.
