A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly; he sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.<\/p>\n
The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.<\/p>\n
The little boy says, ‘Dark in here.’<\/p>\n
The man says, ‘Yes, it is.’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘I have a baseball.’<\/p>\n
Man: ‘That’s nice’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘Want to buy it?’<\/p>\n
Man: ‘No, thanks.’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘My Dad’s outside.’<\/p>\n
Man: ‘OK, how much?’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘$250’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘Dark in here.’<\/p>\n
Man: ‘Yes, it is.’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘I have a baseball glove.’<\/p>\n
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, How much?’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘$750’<\/p>\n
Man: ‘Sold.’<\/p>\n
A few days later, the Dad says to the boy, ‘Grab your glove, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.’<\/p>\n
The boy says, ‘I can’t, I sold my baseball and my glove.’<\/p>\n
The Dad asks, ‘How much did you sell them for?’<\/p>\n
Boy: ‘$1,000’<\/p>\n
The Dad says, ‘That’s terrible to over charge your friends like that…that is way more than those two things cost. I’m taking you to church, to confession.’<\/p>\n
They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door.<\/p>\n
The boy says, ‘Dark in here.’<\/p>\n
The priest says, ‘Don’t start that shit again; you’re in my closet now.’<\/p>\n
