One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their mothers did
for a living.
for a living.
All the typical answers came up - teacher, nurse, businesswoman,
saleswoman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
However, little J ohnny was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the
teacher prodded him about his mother, he replied, Well my mother's
an exotic dancer in a cabaret and takes off all her clothes in front of
men and they put money in her underwear. Sometimes, if the offer
is really good, she will go home with some guy and stay with him all
night for money.'
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some exercises and then took little J ohnny aside to
ask him, 'Is that really true about your mother?'
No,' the boy said, 'She works for the Rebplican National Committee and
is helping to get john McCain to be our next President, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.'
