A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Cheesehead. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Cheeseheads too. No one really knowing what a Cheesehead was, 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 who has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
"Because I'm not a Cheesehead."
Then, asks the teacher, what are you?
“Why, I'm a proud Bears Fan," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.
She asks Kristen why she is a rebel.
“Well, my mom and dad are Bears Fans, so I'm a Bears Fan too."
The teacher is now angry.
"That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your mom was a .....,
and your dad was a ...... What would you be then?"
A pause, and a smile.
“Then," says Kristen, "I'd be a Cheesehead"
