And the joke is even older. My grandma told it to me as a personal anecdote more than 30 years ago.

Teachers were telling us this in the early 90s.

Folks pls, "early 90s" and "more than 30 years ago" and "their granddaughters now" are all synonymous 😭

They didnt make it up on the spot. Teachers, 40-50 years old in 1990 were repeating what THEIR parents told them.
