A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Hawthorn fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Hawthorn fans too.
Not really knowing what a Hawthorn fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air. There is, however, one exception.
A little girl has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Hawthorn fan" she retorts.
"Then" asks her teacher "What are you?" "I'm a proud West Coast Eagles fan" boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now,
her face slightly red. She asks the little girl why she is an Eagles fan. "Well, my dad and mum are Eagles fans, so I'm a Eagles fan too" she responds.
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason" she says loudly. "What if your mum was a moron and your dad was an idiot? What would you be then?"
"Oh" says the little girl. "Well, then I'd be a Hawthorn fan".
