The 16-Year Deal

On a warm summer night, a young lady entered the butcher shop with startling news for the butcher: The baby in her arms was his.

Nonplussed, the butcher didn't know what to do and eventually offered the only thing he thought he could - he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16. She agreed.

He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said, 'I'll be 16 tomorrow.'

'I know,' said the butcher with a smile, 'I've been counting too; tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face.'

When the boy arrived home, he told his mother what the butcher had said.

The woman nodded and said, 'Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years... then come back and tell me about the expression on his face!'

Lol, what a free loader! Poor boy he now has three Dads Hahaha.
 
Obviously all the shop keepers must have had guilty consciences and deserved what they got for their actions. The poor boy will have to live with having the “town bike” for a mother.
