What Parents Do

A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living:

- Tim, you be first. What does your mother do all day?

Tim stood up and proudly said:

- She's a doctor.

- That's wonderful. How about you, Amy?

Amy shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said:

- My father is a mailman.

- Thank you, Amy - said the teacher.

- What does your parent do, Billy?

Billy proudly stood up and announced:

- Nothing. He's an economist.
