A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in Bankstown and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Bulldogs fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Bulldogs fans.
Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looked at the girl with surprise and says:
"Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Bulldogs fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked:
"Well, if you're not a Bulldogs fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I'm a Parramatta fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why are you a Parramatta fan?"
Because my mom and dad are from Parramatta, and my mom is a Parramatta fan and my dad is a Parramatta fan, so I'm a Parramatta fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher, in an obvious annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Parramatta fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a prostitute, your dad was a drug addict, and your brother was car thief, what would you be then?"
