A grade school teacher was
asking students what their parents did for a living. "Tim, you be first," she
said. "What does your mother do all day?"
Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."
"That's wonderful. How about you, Amie?"
Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."
"Thank you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father, Billy?"
Billy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy murders people, steals from
them, and drinks."
The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography. Later that
day she went to Billy's house and rang the bell. Billy's father answered the
door. The teacher explained what his son had said and asked if there might be
some logical explanation.
Billy's father said, "I'm actually an attorney. But how can I explain a thing
like that to a seven-year-old?" |
