It was a share day in elementary school, where each student was expected to talk about what their dad did for a living, his hobbies, or what he enjoyed doing in his spare time. Little Gabe was last, and finally the teacher called on him to talk about his own dad. Little Gabe stepped timidly to the front of the class, thought for a moment or two, and then began to speak.
"My daddy is a dancer at a gay bar. He takes off his clothes for other men, and if they pay him enough money, he goes into the alley and performs special acts on them."
The teacher was absolutely shocked and appalled, and she called for an early recess for the rest of the class. She sat down with Little Gabe and asked him if this was really true about his dad.
Little Gabe hung his head, his tiny lips quivering with tears running down his face, and said, "No, but I was too embarrassed to admit he was a Dallas Cowboys fan."
