Icon97 Did the Oklahoma governor just tell us an urban legend?

So I just got back from graduation #2, at which the speaker was OK governor Brad Henry. He told a nice little story about how his five year old daughter was always being referred to as "the governor's daughter," and one day when someone asked if she was Firstname Henry, she said "No, I'm the governor's daughter." Her mother took her aside and explained that she shouldn't identify herself as "the governor's daughter," but as her own name. So the next time she is out with dad a sweet little old lady says "And you must be the governor's daughter!" To which the child supposedly responds: "I used to think I was, but my mom says I'm not."

Very cute, but a little *too* cute. And SO swears he's heard it before. What do you think?

Aha: Found this joke here: http://www.members.tripod.com/~Funnny_2/resume.html
Who's Kid?

A mother was trying to help her little daughter
understand how to use the language.

One day, when an acquaintance asked the child her
name, she said, "I'm Mr. White's daughter."

Later, the mother told her that that had been wrong,
that she really should have said, "I'm Janie White."

The little girl let this sink in; and so it was that
the next Sunday in church, when the minister saw
her and said fondly, "And this is Mr. White's little
girl, I think," she responded, "Well, no, I guess not;
I used to think I was, but my mother says I'm not."

Which doesn't disprove the story, of course.
