The next morning, the narrator mutters to himself that he's going to "throw away" his boxers that were stolen from his aunt's house. He's worried that his aunt won't come home from work, so he'll have to buy some new ones. He asks his aunt if she's ever come home, and she tells him that she doesn't usually come home. The narrator tells his aunt that he might steal her new boxers again, but he'd rather not, because he has plans to go buy some more. He tells her that he can't go with her, since he has a plan to buy the new boxers from the man who stole them. He says that the man told him that he would no longer try to hide the new ones, but that he didn't want to do it again. He also tells the narrator that he thinks they'd look perfect in his new room.
