A first grade teacher explains to her class that she's a Yankees fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they're Yankees fans, too. To impress the teacher, all the students launch their hands into the air.

There is, however, one exception: A girl named Lucy doesn't go along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she's decided to be different.

"Because I'm not a Yankees fan," Lucy says.

"Then what are you?" asks the teacher.

"I'm a Mets fan," boasts the little girl.

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she's a Mets fan.

"Well, my mom and dad are Mets fans, so I'm a fan, too."

The teacher is now very angry. "That's 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 I'd be a Yankees fan!"
