A first grade teacher in Knoxville, Tennessee, explained to her class that she was a Tennessee fan. She asked her students to raise their hands if they, too, were Tennessee fans.
Everyone in the class raised their hand except for one little girl.
The teacher looked at the little girl with surprise and said, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”
“Because I am not an Tennessee fan,” she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Tennessee fan, what kind of a fan are you?”
“I’m a Memphis fan,” Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, WHY are you a Memphis fan?”
“Because my mom is a Memphis fan, my dad is a Memphis fan, so I am a Memphis fan also.”
“Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, “that is no reason for you to be a Memphis fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all the time. What if your mom was a snotty, arrogant jerk and your dad was a snotty, arrogant jerk, what would you be then?”
“Then,” Janie smiled, “We’d be Tennessee fans.”
