Why You Should Check Even Little Kids Homework

Posted by Brett Singer

Assignment: draw a picture of your mother at work.

This is making the email rounds and I thought I would share it with you.

In general, I feel like my children should be responsible for their own homework. At the moment they are too young to be doing complex math problems or writing 20 page reports. But they might get an assignment like this one: "Draw a picture of one of your parents at work."

So what exactly is mommy doing in this adorable little example of kiddie art?

Mommy is selling a shovel in this picture. What did YOU think she was doing? You DID? Oh. How rude.

Well, get your mind out of the gutter people – according to this blog, Mommy is in retail. She works at Home Depot. And that's a shovel. The other people are customers who would like to purchase the shovel, as well as other home improvement supplies.

Why? Does it look like she's doing something else? What do you mean?

Ann Coulter had no comment on the image. But she would probably say it was a single mother.

LOL!!  I looked at the picture without reading the comments and thought "bank teller."  But yeah...I can see how some could find something different in that pic. After all, the guys *are* all smiling.
