Give Her An "A+"

A first grade teacher in Ohio is explaining to her class that she is a Democrat and how wonderful it is that a Democratic Black man could become president. She asks her students to raise their hand if they, too, are Democrats and support Barack Obama. Everyone in class raised his/her hand except one little girl.

"Alyssa," says the teacher with surprise, "why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Democrat," says Alyssa.

"Well, what are you?" asks the teacher.

"I'm a Republican and proud of it," replies the little girl.

The teacher cannot believe her ears. "My goodness, Alyssa, why are you a Republican?" she asks.

"Well, my Mommy and Daddy are Republican, so I'm a Republican, too."

"Well," says the teacher in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Republican. You don't always have to be like your parents. What if your Mommy was a hypocrite and your Daddy was a drunk, what would you be then?"

Alyssa smiled. "Then we'd be Democrats."

(Ed. Note: Presidential? Alyssa knows better)
