One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what
their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up --
fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so
forth.
But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the
teacher prodded him about his father, he replied,
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men and they put money in his
underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go
home with some guy and make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously
shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on
some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that
really true about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He
works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to secure
the nomination of Hillary Clinton, but I was too embarrassed to say
that in front of the other kids."
