A woman takes a lover home

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.

The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.

The little boy says, “Dark in here.” The man says, “Yes, it is.” Boy – “I have a baseball.” Man – “That’s nice.” Boy – “Want to buy it?” Man – “No, thanks.” Boy – “My dad’s outside.” Man – “OK, how much?” Boy – “$150” Man – “Sold.”

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together. Boy – “Dark in here.” Man – “Yes, it is.” Boy – “I have a Wilson infielder’s glove.” The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, “How much?” Boy – “$350” Man – “Highway robbery. Sold.” A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your gloves, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.” The boy says, “I can’t, I sold my ball and my glove.” The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?” The boy says, “$500” 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 and make you confess your greed.” They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door. The boy says, “Dark in here.” The priest says, “Don’t start that shit again, you’re in my closet now.”
