Dark in here.

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Her nine-year-old son comes home unexpectedly, so she puts him in the closet and shuts the door. Her husband also comes home, so she puts her lover in the closet, with the little boy.

The little boy : Dark in here.
The man : Yes, it is.
The little boy : I have a baseball.
The man : That's nice.
The little boy : Want to buy it.
The man : No, thanks.
The little boy : My dad's outside.
The man : OK, how much?
The little boy : $25.00

The next few weeks find the boy and her mother's lover in the closet together.

The little boy : Dark in here.
The man : Yes, it is.
The little boy : I have a baseball mitt.
The man : How much?
The little boy : $75.00
The man : Fine.

A few days later..

Father : Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth.
The little boy : I can't, I sold them.
Father : How much did you sell them for ?
The little boy : $100.00
Father : That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that, that is way more than those two things cost. I'm taking you to church and making you confess.

They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth, then closes the door.

The little boy : Dark in here.
The priest : Don't start that shit again.
