In this #shorts, a poignant #childhoodmemories is shared, where a woman recalls a school assignment to describe her father's job. Lacking the right vocabulary, she described him as "a beggar," a moment of #nostalgia that highlights the innocence of youth. She reflects on this particular #thebeggarsummary, finding it both humorous and touching as it was the only English #wordoftheday she knew for fundraising at the time.

second grade, we had this, you know,
sometimes you come to school for PTA and
they make these nice bulletin boards,
right, of my mother is or my father is,
right? And they had this thing about my
mother, my father, whatever it was. And
I wrote my father is a beggar because
that's the only English word that I knew
for what he did. Did I know the word
fundraising? No. Did I know about
anything else? So, I wrote, "What does
my father do? My father is a beggar."
And my mother came home horrified. And
she tells my father, I can't believe
this is what she wrote. And my father
told me the story years later. I didn't
even know about. My father said to her,
"This is the nicest thing she could have
written about me." What's she going to
say? She he goes to 47th Street Photo
and he does customer service. She wrote
what she sees as the only job, for lack
of better words, that she knew about me,
which is I beg on behalf of other
people.
