Simple Misunderstanding

When asked to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up, second-grader "Sarah" turned in the lovely drawing shown below.

Needless to say, the teacher was a bit surprised -- Mrs. Smith had always seemed like such a conservative woman.  So she sent a note home to the girl's mother asking for clarification as to the picture's meaning. 

(Letter back to the teacher.)  

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic
dancer.  

I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit.  I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole.  It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.

From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
 
Sincerely,
Mrs.  Smith
