		 A first grade  teacher in Pittsburgh explains to her  
 
class that she is a Steelers fan. She  asks her  
 
students to raise their hands if they, too, are  
 
Steelers fans.  Everyone in the class raises their  
 
hand, except one little girl.  
 
The  teacher looks at the girl with surprise and  
 
says, "Janie, why didn't you  raise your hand?"  
 
"Because I'm not a Steelers fan," she  replied.  
 
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are  
 
not a  Steelers fan, then who are you a fan of?"  
 
"I am a Patriots fan, and proud of  it," Janie replied.  
 
The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie,  why  
 
are you a Patriots fan?"  
 
"Because my mom is a Patriots fan, and my dad is  a Patriots  
 
fan, so I'm a Patriots fan too!"  
 
"Well," said the teacher in an  obviously annoyed  
 
tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Patriots fan.  You  
 
don't have to be just like your parents all of the  
 
time. What if your  Mom was a moron and your dad was  
 
a moron, what would you be  then?"  
 
"Then," Janie smiled, "we'd be Steelers  fans."
