The Cost of Baseball

A housewife takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work.

Unbeknown to her, her 9 year old son was hiding
in the closet.

Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she
hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company.

Boy: “Dark in here.”

Man; “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: $250.”

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

Boy: “Dark in here.”

Man: “Yes it is.”


Boy: “I have a baseball glove.”

Man: “How much?”

Boy: “$750.”

Man: Fine.”

A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your ball and glove. Let’s go outside and play catch.”

The boy says, “I can’t. I sold them.”

The father asks. “How much did you sell them for?”

The son says, “$1000.”

The father says, “That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that.

That is much more than those things cost.

I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”

They go to church, the father alerts the priest, makes the boy sit in the confessional and closes the door.



The boy says, “Dark in here.”

The priest says, “Don’t start that S**T again.”
