English Original
A first-grade teacher tells her class she is a New England Patriots fan and asks who else is. Not knowing what that means but eager to please, nearly all the students raise their hands.
One girl, Kelly, does not. The teacher asks why she chose to be different. "Because I'm not a Patriots fan," Kelly says.
"Then what are you?" the teacher asks.
"I'm a New York Giants fan," the girl replies proudly.
When asked why, Kelly explains, "My mom and dad are Giants fans, so I am too."
"That's not a good reason," the teacher retorts. "What if your mom was foolish and your dad was unwise? What would you be then?"
Kelly smiles and answers, "Then I'd be a Patriots fan."
中文翻译
一位一年级老师告诉全班她是新英格兰爱国者队的球迷，并问还有谁是。学生们并不明白那是什么意思，但为了讨好老师，几乎所有人都举起了手。
一个叫凯莉的女孩没有举手。老师问她为何与众不同。凯莉说：“因为我不是爱国者队的球迷。”
老师问：“那你是什么队的球迷？”
女孩自豪地回答：“我是纽约巨人队的球迷。”
被问及原因时，凯莉解释道：“我爸爸妈妈都是巨人队的球迷，所以我也是。”
“这理由可不好，”老师反驳道，“要是你妈妈很蠢，你爸爸也很不明智呢？那你又会成为谁的球迷？”
凯莉微笑着答道：“那我就会是爱国者队的球迷了。”
