EMBARRASSED

THE TEACHER ASKED HER CLASS

TO WRITE DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER

THE TYPE OF WORK THEIR DADDIES DID.

THE CHILDREN EXCITEDLY SCRIBBLED AWAY.

ONE BY ONE THE TEACHER ASKED EACH CHILD

TO STAND AND DESCRIBE THE JOB.

THERE WAS MUCH LAUGHTER

APART FROM LITTLE TOMMY.

TOMMY WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SAD?

TOMMY SLOWLY ROSE TO HIS FEET AND REPLIED

"MY DAD'D A STRIPPER IN A GAY BAR".

THE OTHER CHILDREN WERE SILENT AS HE CONTINUED:

"SOMETIMES HE DOESNT COME HOME

AND MY MUM SITS CRYING.

SOMETIMES HE SELLS HIS BODY

FOR OTHER MENS PLEASURE".

THERE WERE GASPS AROUND THE CLASSROOM.

THE TEACHER ACTED QUICKLY AND

DISMISSED THE CLASSS,

TELLING THEM TO GO OUT AND PLAY.

SHE THEN WALKED UP TO TOMMY,

PUT HER ARM AROUND HIS SHOULDERS

AND ASKED "IS ALL THAT TRUE, TOMMY?"

"NO, NOT ALL MISS.

HE REALLY PLAYS RUGBY FOR ENGLAND

BUT I WAS TOO EMBARRASSED TO SAY"
