A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a NY METS fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were Met fans too.
Not really knowing what a METS fan was but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. A girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

“Because I`m not a METS fan,” Then, asks the teacher, what are you?“

”Why I`m proud to be a Yankees fan,“ boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Yankees fan. ”Well, My Dad and Mom are Yankee fans, and I`m a Yankee fan too,“ The teacher is now 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?“

A pause, and a smile. ”Then,“ says Lucy, ”I`d be a METS fan."
