Little David is in the 5th grade. Yesterday morning,
the teacher asked the children what their fathers did
for a living. All the typical answers came up;
fireman, policeman, salesman, auto mechanic, 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 is 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, "He plays for the Detroit Lions, but
I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the
other kids
