Olivia, five, and her best friend, Claire, were in a nativity play at school. Claire was playing Mary, and Olivia was an angel. Before the show, a young boy went around the dressing room saying, \u201cI\u2019m a sheep; what are you?\u201d Each child responded politely, including Olivia, who proudly declared that she was an angel.<\/p>\n
The boy then turned to Claire and repeated the question to her: \u201cI\u2019m a sheep; what are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire simply said, \u201cI\u2019m Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Realizing Claire was a lead character, the boy tried to justify his own role. \u201cIt\u2019s hard being a sheep, you know,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d said Claire innocently, \u201cbut it\u2019s also hard being a virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n
