Billy, the Closet Entrepreneur

Kids are little entrepreneurs, aren’t they? Especially when they accidentally stumble upon a goldmine. Like young Billy here. His business acumen is nothing short of impressive, or so his dad thought.

Billy’s mom Sarah had a secret lover who visited during the day while his dad was at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9-year-old son was hiding in the closet one day.

When her husband unexpectedly arrived home early, she quickly hid her lover in the closet as well. Now, the boy was no longer alone.

Billy: “Dark in here.”

Man: (Startled) “Yeah, it is.”

Billy: “I’ve got a baseball. Want to buy it?”

Man: (Panicked) “Uh, no thanks.”

Billy: “Know what, pal? That’s my Dad outside.”

Man: (Panicking) “Uh, how much did you say the baseball was?”

Billy: “$250!”

A few weeks later, the duo found themselves back in the closet.

Billy: “Dark in here again.”

Man: (Groans) “Not this again.”

Billy: “I’ve got my baseball glove. Want to buy it?”

Man: “Nope.”

Billy: “Dude, I just remembered something I gotta tell my Dad.”

Man: (Desperation creeping in) “How much?”

Billy: “$750.”

Man: (Sighs) “Fine, fine.”

A few days later, Billy’s father, eager for some father-son bonding, said, “Grab your glove, let’s go toss the baseball around outside!”
