Who here is an American?

A teacher asks her class, “Who here is an American?” expecting everybody to raise their hands. All the students did except one, a little girl called Rania. So the teacher asks Rania, “Why didn’t you raise your hand when I asked if you are an American?”

Rania answers, “Because I am Canadian.”

“And why is that?” asked the teacher.

Rania replies, “Because my mom is Canadian, my dad is Canadian, and my grandparents are all Canadians, too.”

Flustered, the teacher says, “Well that’s ridiculous. If I told you that your grandparents are stupid, that your father is retarded, and that your mother is brain-dead, what would that make you?”

Rania answers simply, “Then I would be an American!”
