On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Yankees fan.

She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Yankees fans.

Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little boy.

The teacher looks at the boy with surprise,

"Why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Yankees fan," he replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Yankees fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I am a Chciago Cubs fan, and proud of it," he replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. "Why pray tell are you a Chicago Cubs fan?"

"Because my mom is a Cubs fan, and my dad is Cubs fan, so I'm a Chicago Cubs fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Cubs fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were an idiot and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?"

"Then," he smiled, "I'd be a Yankees fan."
