At school a boy was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."
.
The boy decides to go home and try it out.
.
He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I know the whole truth."
.
His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."
.
Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth."
.
The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."
.
Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day, when he sees the mailman at his front door.
.
The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth."
.
The mailman drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your father a big hug."
