A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in Merseyside and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Everton fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Everton 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 Everton fan,' she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked: 'Well, if you're not an Everton fan, then who are you a fan of?'
'I'm a Liverpool fan, and proud of it,' Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
'Mary, why are you a Liverpool fan?'
'My mum and dad were born and raised in Woolton, so my mum is a Liverpool fan and my dad is a Liverpool fan, and so I'm a Liverpool fan too!'
'Well,' said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, 'that's no reason for you to be a Liverpool fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute, your dad was a drug addict, and your brother was a car thief, what would you be then?'
'Then,' Mary said, 'I'd be an Everton fan.'
