“Cobra, cobra, cobra!”
My Mommy The Dancer..., a real tear jerker
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 Johnny 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 under-wear.
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 Johnny aside to ask him,
“Is that really true about your mother?”No,” the boy said,
“She works for the democratic National Committee and is campaigning for Joe Biden,
but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.”
