A kindergarten teacher explains to her class that she is a Husker. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Huskers too. No one really knows what a Husker 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 Husker."
"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"Why, I'm a proud ISU Cyclone," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Kristen why she is a Cyclone.
"Well, my mom and dad are Cyclones, so I'm a Cyclone 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 Husker."
