A first grade teacher explains to her class that sheТs a Cubs fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if theyТre Cubs fans, too. Not really knowing what a Cubs fan is but wanting to be just like their teacher, the students launch their hands into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception: A girl named Lucy doesnТt go along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why sheТs decided to be different. "Because IТm not a Cubs fan," Lucy says.
"Then what are you?" asks the teacher.
"Why, IТm proud to be a Sox fan," boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why sheТs a Sox fan. "Well, my mom and dad are Sox fans, so IТm a Sox fan, too."
The teacher is now very angry. "ThatТs no reason!" she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
Lucy pauses, then smiles. "Why, then," Lucy says, "IТd be a Cubs fan."
