'I am a Yankees fan,' a first-grade teacher explains to her class. 'Who likes the Yankees?'

Everyone raises a hand except one little girl. 'Janie,' the teacher says, surprised. 'Why didn't you raise your hand?'

'I'm not a Yankees fan.'

'Well, if you are not a Yankees fan, then what
team do you like?'

'The Red Sox,' Janie answers.

'Why in the world are you a Red Sox fan?'

'Because my mom and dad are Red Sox fans.'

'That's no reason to be a Red Sox fan,' the teacher replies, annoyed.
