What Do Your Parents Do For A Living?

An elementary school teacher was asking her students what their parents did for a living. "Jeffrey, please be first," she said. "Tell the class, what does your mother do?" Jeffrey stood up and proudly boasted, "She's a doctor."

"That's wonderful. How about you, Amy?" Amy shyly stood up, shuffled her feet a bit and said, "My dad's a mailman."

"Thank you, Amy," said her teacher. "What about your father, Jimmy?" Jimmy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse!"

The teacher was taken aback, and promptly changed the subject to social studies. Later that day she went to Jimmy's house and knocked on the door. Jimmy's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said, and demanded the father provide an explanation.

Jimmy's father said, "Well, I'm actually an attorney. But how can you explain a thing like that to a six year old?"
