Too smart
[ 2007-02-16 08:00 ]
A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having
trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your
problem?"
Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in
the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade
too!"
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's
office. While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the
principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give
the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to
the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the
conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9".
Principal: "What is 6
x 6?"
Harry: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal
thought a 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and
tells her, "I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade."
Ms. Brooks says to the
principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Harry, after a moment: "Legs."
Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that you
have but I do not have?" The principal wondered, why would she ask such a
question! Harry replied: "Pockets."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a
man steps into?" Harry: "Pants"
Ms. Brooks: What's starts with a C, ends
with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?
Harry:
"Coconut."
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms.
Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?" The
principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the
answer.
Harry: "Bubble gum"
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a
woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"
Harry: "Shake
hands."
The principal was trembling.
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts
with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"
Harry:
"Firetruck"
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher,
"Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong!"
