A mother's job

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their mothers
did for a living.

All the typical answers came up - teacher, nurse, businesswoman,
saleswoman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

However, little Justin 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 Justin
aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your mother?"


"No," the boy said, "She works for the Democratic National Committee
and is helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I
was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
