One good joke deserves another...
A young teacher began a job at an elementary school and was eager to get to know the students. One day during recess the teaher noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.
The teacher approached and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
A little while later, however, the teacher noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself.
Approaching again, the teacher offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?"
The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the teacher suspiciously.
Feeling that progress was being made, the teacher then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?"
"Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I �m the goalie!"
