Two classmates are talking. “I’ve found an easy way of making money,” says one.
“Really? What’s that?”
“It’s simple. You go to your Dad and say, ‘Dad, I know the truth’.
He’ll give you money right there.”
The boy tells his father, “Dad, I know the truth.”
“Oh no!” says the father. “Please don’t tell your mother anything! Here’s $10.”
The boy is beside himself and decides to do the same to his mother:
“Mom, I know the truth.”
“Oh no, son!” she says. “Don’t tell you dad anything! Here’s $20.”
The boy is ecstatic and thinks, “I’ll do this to everyone.”
Just then milkman passes him and the boy yells out, “I know the truth!”
Astonished, the milkman says, “Really? Well, son, come and give your father a hug!”
