Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I honestly answered, “Fried chicken.” She didn’t find it funny, but the rest of the class did. My dad later joked that the teacher was probably a vegan animal lover, to which I replied that I love animals too—especially chicken, pork, and beef.
That got me sent to the principal’s office. The principal laughed and let me off with a warning.
The next day, the teacher tried again, asking for my favorite live animal. I said, “A chicken.” When she asked why, I told her the truth: “Because you can turn them into fried chicken.”
Back to the principal’s office I went. He laughed again and told me to stop.
I really don’t get it. My parents raised me to be honest. So today, when the teacher asked which famous person I admire the most, I proudly said, “Colonel Sanders.”
Guess whose office I’m sitting in right now?
