As I’m in New York, here’s a fitting story

A woman and her ten-year-old son were riding in a cab in New York City,
it was raining and all the hookers were standing under the awnings.

“Mom,” said the boy, “what are all those women doing?”

“They’re waiting for their husbands to get off work,” she replied.

The cabbie turns around and says, “Geez lady, why don’t you tell him
the truth?

They’re hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money.”

The little boy’s eyes get wide and he says, “Is that true, Mom?”

His mother, glaring hard at the cabbie, answers in the affirmative.

After a few minutes, the kid asks, “Mom, what happens to the babies
those women have?”

“They become cab drivers,” she said.
