After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:
Dear Ms. Harris,
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This drawing is of me selling a shovel.
Mrs. Davis
The above is not original to me (oh yeah, I did change the names of the Ms. and Mrs., that's my contribution to this post ). However, since I just saw it for the first time and liked it, I thought I'd post it. The version that introduced me to it you'll find here. The blog author there expands it slightly (and for the better, I think), including a change of locale from Home Depot to Wal-Mart.
It is a funny one isn't it? I really like it. Glad you liked it too.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Sandee,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. I often turn to lighter blogs (and by that I certainly do NOT mean lesser blogs) for some relief from the daily grind. Yours is one of the best!
I make my own feeble attempts at comedy from time to time, but I can't say they're very worthy. Bloggers such as yourself inspire through laughter. Don't stop. Keep up the good(funny)work.
