My Daddy the Dancer

My Daddy the Dancer

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for 

a living.

All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, 

salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the 

teacher prodded him about his father, he replied,

"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes 

in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the 

offer is really good, he 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 father?"

"No," the boy said, "he 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."
