THE DANCER
 
  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."
