The teacher pulled me aside. Whispering, she advised, "You might want 
to explain a little bit more to your daughter what you do for a living."

I work as a training consultant and often conduct my seminars in motel 
conference rooms. When I asked why, the teacher explained, "Your 
daughter told the class she wasn't sure what you did, but said you got 
dressed real pretty and went to work at motels."
