Billy's
Father is a Lawyer
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
plays piano in a whorehouse. "
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 an attorney. But
how can I explain a thing like that
to a seven-year-old? "
