Simple fact of life around Michigan:
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a
Colorado Avalanche fan. She asks her students to raise
their hands if they are Avalanche fans too.
Not really knowing what an Avalanche 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 an Avalanche fan," she retorts.
"Then," asks her teacher, "what are you?"
"I'm a proud Detroit Red Wings Fan," boasts the little girl. The teacher is
a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks the little girl why
she is a Wings fan.
"Well, my Dad and Mom are Wings fans, so I'm a Wings fan too," she responds.
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your
Mom was a moron and your Dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"
"Oh," says the little girl. "Well, then I'd be an Avalanche fan."
