Kids Are Talking About What They Think Their Parents Do For Work, And It’s Hilarious
Kids have an interesting perspective on the world. They have limited experience with various professions, so when you ask them what their parents do for a living, they come up with some pretty interesting answers.
Keep reading to see what some kids said when they were asked to explain their parents' jobs. We're never going to look at pharmaceutical reps the same way again. These kids are brutal and absolutely hilarious at the same time.
A Real Estate Agent
"My mom used to be a real estate agent and I told my teacher she walked into strangers' houses all the time :))))))" —@katielikesmilk
I guess that is sort of true.
I See Dead People
"My family owns a funeral home so when people would ask what my dad does I'd say he plays with dead people and walk away." —@HaleySteez_
That's a quick way to creep people out.
She's A Project Manager
"My mom is a project manager executive for a construction company and I used to tell people as a kid that she went to construction sites and yelled at people for a living." —@Mady13444
Not painting a very nice picture of her.
Other People Wear Suits
"My stepson tells people his dad is a hitman because he wears a suit and has two phones. He's a property manager." —@ChristyCindy
I certainly hope that his dad isn't a hitman.
That's One Way Of Putting It
"I'm a teacher, I asked a second-grader what does her mom do. She said, 'My mom sells drugs.
"Not with a gun but she emails people asking if they want drugs.' Her mom is a pharmaceutical rep." —@ComicEricaClark
It's A Difficult Word
"My mom was a phlebotomist. I used to tell people she was a hippopotamus." —@justshutup26
It's a common mistake. "Phlebotomist" is a super difficult word to say. So is "hippopotamus" actually...
Some Simple Tasks
"My friend's daughter was asked by her teacher what does her mother do for a living. Miss thing said move papers around and talk on the phone.
"My friend is a judge." —@LadyBugAssassin
What Lawyers Do
"My kid told me he wants to be a lawyer 'so I can just sit and do crossword puzzles.'"
(My dad is a defense attorney, and when we see him, he is... not at work)." —@maryps
She's Not A Maid
"I'm a stay-at-home mother and when my son's kindergarten teacher asked what I did for a living, my beautiful boy responded with: 'She's a scullery maid.' —@AndieOlson
Well, that's new.
Not A Smuggler
"Could be worse... For years I told people my mom was a smuggler. She was a travel writer who would bring fun things home from her trips, then (after using those things for years) sell some of them.
"My mom just about died when she saw THAT assignment come home." —@KatherineLansky
It's Never Too Late To Switch Jobs
"My younger cousin told everyone at a school his dad made the boxes for happy meals at McDonald's.... His dad is a lawyer." —@Hannah_Cu_
Who knows, he could always give it all up and start slinging burgers.
A Chemical Engineer
"My dad's a chemical engineer and when I was a kid I told people he poured toxic chemicals on people." —@frozen_cheetos
Well, that's not exactly what he does. It's pretty close, though.
A Regular Politician
"I told my first-grade class that my dad gave money to people who needed it and took it away from people who didn't want to give it to him.
"My dad was a politician." —@hey_kerith
Still Not A Maid
"Lord, please be on my side 'cause my daughter runs her gosh darn mouth and she thinks I am a maid.
"I'm a stay-at-home mom who cooks and cleans. —@_pradayouuu
