Many a truer word.....

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in North London and, trying to make a good impression on her first day. She explains to her class that she is an Arsenal fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Arsenal fans.

Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says,
"Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not an Arsenal fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked:

"Well, if you're not an Arsenal then who are you a fan of?"
"I'm a Spurs fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Spurs fan?"

"Because my mum and dad are from Tottenham, and my mum is a Spurs fan and my dad is a Spurs fan, so I'm a Spurs fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in a obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Spurs fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and car thief, what would you be then?"

"Then,"; Mary smiled, "I'd be an Arsenal fan."
