woman takes a lover 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 - “$250”
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 baseball glove.”
The lover remembering the last time, asks the boy,
“How much?”
Boy - “$750”
Man - “Fine.”
A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab
your glove, let’s go outside and have a game of
catch.”
The boy says, “I can’t, I sold my baseball and my
glove.”
The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?”
Boy -“$1,000”
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.”
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 **** again”.
But I’m on the outside
And I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
