A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too . Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks . There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I am not an American." "Then" , asks the teacher, "What are you?" " I'm a proud Canadian", boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian". Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I 'm a Canadian too." The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron . What would you be then?" A pause , and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "I 'd be an American."
