Garrison Keillor Quote
The teacher was asking her students what their parents did for a living, and Timmy stood up and said, My daddy’s a doctor and my mommy’s a doctor too. And little Sarah stood up and said, My mommy’s an engineer and my daddy’s an accountant. And then little Billy stands up and says, My mommy’s a writer and my daddy plays the piano in a whorehouse. The teacher was horrified and later she called Billy’s father, and said, Why would you ever tell your child a thing like that? And the father said, Well, actually I’m a defense lawyer. But how do you explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?
