Butcher's Baby

[morningstar]

It was many years since the embarrassing day when a young woman, with a baby in her arms, entered his shop and confronted the butcher with the news that her newly born baby was his and asked what he was going to do about it.
Finally he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was . She agreed.
The butcher 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 tomorrow."
"I know," said the bitter 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 the watch the expresion 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 also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last years and watch the expression on HIS face!"
