Favorite Animal

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said “Fried chicken.” She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right because everyone else laughed. My parents always told me to tell the truth, so I did, but my teacher sent me to the principal’s office for it. I told the principal what happened, he laughed, but then told me not to do that again.
The next day, my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, and I told her “Because you can make it into a fried chicken.” She sent me to the principal’s office again. He laughed, but told me not to do that again.
I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like when I am. I decided to follow what my parents taught me because they always tell me all they want for me is to become a good man, and a good man never lies. Today, my teacher asked me what famous person I admired the most. I said “Colonel Sanders”… guess where I am now.
