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's 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?" To which the priest exclaims, "Don't you start that **** in
here."
