I couldn't help myself!

Again, thanks to Courtney, I have something to write about today.

(from an e-mail)

Homework: Draw a picture of what you want to be when you grow up


(Here's what the teacher received the next day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,
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. Smith


(I decided that since I have spent over 6 hours working today on my research question - yes, just the question - I deserved the 5 minutes it took to make you smile today!)
