Little David
Little David was in his fourth-grade class when the teacher asked the
children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up -- fireman, cook, policeman, janitor,
journalist, salesman, doctor, garbage man, lawyer, etc..
David was uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his
father. "He's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and other men put money in
his underwear. Sometimes he'll go home with a guy."
The teacher, obviously shaken, set the other children to work on some
exercises and took David aside, asking, "Is that really true about your
father?"
"No," said David, "He works for the Kerry campaign, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids." |
