Three third graders from Tennessee , an Irish
kid, an Italian kid and a Black kid are on the playground at recess. The
Irish kid suggests that they play a new game. 'Let's see who has
the largest weenie.' They all agree.

The Irish kid pulls down his zipper and whips it out.

'That's nothing,' says the Italian kid. He whips his out and proudly shows
that his is at least an inch longer.

Not to be out done, the Black kid whips his out. It is
by far not only the biggest, but the fattest.

That night, eating dinner at home, the Black
kid's mother asks him what he did at school today.
'Oh, we worked on a science project, had a
math test and read out loud from a new book and then
during recess, my friends and I played a new game
called 'Let's see who has the largest weenie..'

'What kind of game is that, honey?' asks the mother.

'Well, me, Anthony and Patrick each pulled
out our weenies and I had the biggest!
The other kids say it's because I'm Black.
Is that true?'


'No, Leroy. It's because you're
eighteen and still in the third grade.'
