A friend showed me this very entertaining article:
Is mommy an exotic dancer? The importance of clear communications
File this under miscommunication.
On his blog, Baltimore weatherman Justin Berk posted this provocative class drawing from a child depicting her mother’s profession.
Berk also posted the mother’s letter of explanation to her daughter’s teacher.
The letter states:
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn’t show me dancing around a pole. It’s supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely, Mrs. …(Mother)
Just goes to show the importance of clear communication.
!!!!! That is so funny!!!!!
And yes, I suppose clear communication is important. And Ihave learned to ALWAYS check Alexandra's homework now!
This picture came to us in an email and I was laughing SO hard. Kids say/draw the darndest things!
