A first grade teacher in the Midwest is explaining to her class that
she is a Republican and how nice it is that there is a Republican
in office office. She asks her students to raise
their hands if they, too, are Republicans
and support George Bush.
Everyone in class raises their hands except one little girl.
"Mary," says the teacher with surprise,
"why didn't you raise your hand?"
Because I'm not a Republican," says Mary.
"Well, what are you?" asks the teacher.
"I'm a Democrat and proud of it," replies the little girl.
The teacher cannot believe her ears.
"My goodness, Mary, why are you a Democrat?" she asks.
"Well, my momma and papa are Democrats, so I'm a Democrat."
You don't always have to be like your parents. What if your
momma was a criminal and your papa was a criminal, too,
what would you be then?"
Mary smiled. "Then we'd be Republicans."
