Confession . . .

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. While her lover is there, she takes her 9 year-old son and so puts him in the closet so he won't witness her audultry. One day, Her husband comes home unexpectedly. Quickly, she shoves her lover into the closet with the little boy.

The little boy feels around the closet and says, "Sure is dark in here."

"Yes, it is." the man whispers back.

"I have a baseball." The boy says.

"That's nice." replies the man.

"Want to buy it?" The boy asks.

"No, thanks." The man replies, getting agitated.

"My dad's outside." The boy presses.

"OK, how much?" The man relents, realizing he was in a tight spot.

"$25.00"

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.

"Sure is dark in here." The boy says.

"Yes, it is." The man replies.

"I have a baseball mitt." Says the boy.

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"

"$75.00" Says the boy.

"Fine." Grumbles the man.

A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove and ball. Let's go outside and have a catch." The boy replies, "I can't, I sold them." To which the father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" "$100.00" came the answer.

The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that, that is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church for confession." They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.

"Sure in dark in here."

The priest quickly replies, "Listen, don't start that shit again."
