One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for
a living. All the typical answers came up -- businessman, doctor, lawyer,
and so forth.
However, a little boy 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 the little boy aside to ask
him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"Not really," the boy said, "He actually plays cricket for India but I was
too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.
