I was at Cedars-Sinai yesterday for my weekly allergy shot and I overheard the following conversation going on in the elevator bank:
man: How are you doing?
woman: I have three sons.
man: I know, but how are you?
woman: I've got a financial planner, a television show director and....a history teacher.
man: Oh...what shows does he work on?
woman: He does reality tv.
man: What shows?
woman: America's Next Top Model.
I was disappointed when the door to the elevator closed - I wanted to hear more. I feel sad for the woman. It seems like her whole self-esteem and maybe even her social status is based upon the success of her children. Oh, the pressure the history teacher must feel at family gatherings! Couldn't he have been a lawyer or a Doctor or at least play a history teacher on tv?
