A little girl was sitting in her classroom in Australia when her teacher walked in and started talking about how proud she is to be an Australian, and how wonderful it is to be a Wallaby supporter.

The teacher then asked everyone who supported the Wallabies to put up their hand. Every hand in the class besides one went up. This surprised the teacher and so she asked the little girl why her hand wasn’t up.

“Well,” said the little girl, “because I don’t support the Wallabies.”

Even more surprised, the teacher asked her who she supported.

“I support the Springboks”, she replied.

Now a bit irritated, the teacher asked the little girl why she supported the Springboks.

“My mom supports the Springboks, and my dad supports the Springboks, so I support the Springboks.”

The teacher looked at the little girl and with a smirk asked: “Well, if your mom was an idiot and your dad was an idiot, what would you be?”

The little girl looked up at her teacher, smiled and replied: “A Wallaby supporter!
