Mommy's Job
Published Feb 17, 2005
Stopping to pick up my daughter at kindergarten, I found out that the topic of "Show and Tell" that day had been parents'occupations.
The teacher pulled me aside. Whispering, she advised, "You might want to explain a little bit more to your daughter what you do for a living."
(I work as a training consultant and often conduct my seminars in motel conference rooms.)
When I asked why, the teacher explained, "Your daughter told the class she wasn't sure what you did, but said you got dressed real pretty and went to work at motels."
