One day in the second grade classroom, the teacher, Ms. Stringley, was asking the class about the occupations of their parents. Fireman, policeman, and other common jobs came up. Ms. Stringley noticed that one of her students, Josh, was quietly sitting in the back looking rather upset.
"Would you like to share with us, Josh?" she asked, hoping to make him feel better by incorporating him in the activity.
Slowly, Josh said "My dad is a stripper in a gay bar and sometimes if he is paid enough, he goes out in the back where the car is and has sex with other guys."
Ms. Stringley was shocked and took Josh out into the hallway where they could talk in private.
"Is this true?" She asked.
"No, he really works for the democratic party but I was too embarassed to admit it in front of the class."
