Talk to your kids about your job
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 1:39 pm
Little David is in the 5th grade. Yesterday morning when the teacher asked
the children what their fathers did for a living, all the typical answers
came up: fireman, policeman, salesman, etc.
The teacher noticed that little David was being uncharacteristically quiet
and so she asked him about his father.. "My father's an exotic dancer in a
gay bar and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if
the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and do it
with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some coloring, and took little David aside to ask him,
"Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, red faced. "He plays for the Bengals, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
