CYCLONE VS HAWKEYE

A kindergarten teacher explains to her class that she is an Iowa State Cyclone. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Cyclones too.

No one really knows what a Cyclone is, but wanting to be like their teacher their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

“Because I’m not a Cyclone.”

“Then,” asks the teacher, “what are you?”

“Why, I’m a proud Iowa Hawkeye,” boasts the little girl.

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Hawkeye.

“Well, my mom and dad are Hawkeyes, so I’m a Hawkeye too.”

The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”

“Then,” says Kristen, “I’d be a Cyclone.”
