That was one of Mama's favorite sayings. Anyway, this is from V29 by way of the Chief.
On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Yankees fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Yankees fans.
Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Yankees fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Yankees fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am a Red Sox fan, and proud of it," Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why pray tell are you a Red Sox fan?"
"Because my mom is a Red Sox fan, and my dad is Red Sox fan, so I'm a Red Sox fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Red Sox fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were an idiot and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?"
"Then," Janie smiled, "I'd be a Yankees fan."
Love that one!

That's the nice thing about the team *I* root for -- *no*body makes fun of the Brooklyn Dodgers, by George...
We bought Sox t's for our kids while we were at Fenway. Our youngest wore hers to school on Friday and instantly became her new teacher's favorite. Third grade should be a breeze!
I love it! When my Yankee fan friends tell me it is "down to 5 games", I just tell them to speak to the hand.
