[RM shared this cute story]
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 smells stinky armpits to
test deodorant.”
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 a criminal defense attorney. But how can
I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?”
