Who conned Who?

Many years had passed since the day a young woman, with a baby in her arms, entered her local butcher shop and confronted the owner with the news that the child was his and demanded that he did something about it. The butcher promised to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16. The woman agreed to his proposal. One day, the boy came to collect his weekly package of meat and told the butcher, "It's my 16th birthday today." "I know," said the butcher with a smile. "I've been counting the days off. Tell your mother when you take this parcel home , that it's 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 said. She replied, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I've also been getting free bread, free milk and free groceries for the past 16 years and watch the expression on his face!!"
