A first-grade teacher was troubled with one of her students. The teacher asked Johnny, “What is your problem?”
Johnny answered, “My sister is in the 3rd grade, and I am smarter than she is. I think I should be in the 3rd grade too.”
The teacher had enough. She took Johnny to the principal’s office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained the situation.
The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of the questions, he was going back to 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Johnny was brought into the office and the conditions were explained to him. He agreed to take the test. The principal asked, “What is 3×3?”
Johnny answered, “9.”
“What is 6×6?”
Johnny answered, “36.”
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know. The teacher then said to the principal, “Let me ask him some questions.”
The principal and Johnny agreed. The teacher asked, “What does a cow have four of that I only have two of?”
Johnny answered, “Legs.”
“What is in your pants that you have but I don’t?”
The principal wondered, why would she ask such a question. Johnny replied, “Pockets.”
“What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
Johnny said, “Pants.”
The teacher asked, “What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy,oval, delicious, and contains thin, whitish liquid?”
Johnny said, “Coconut.”
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open. The teacher continued. “What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?”
The principal began to tremble. Johnny said, “Bubble gum.”
The teacher continued. “What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?”
“Shake hands,” Johnny quickly answered.
“What word starts with an F and ends in K that means a lot of heat and excitement?”
The principal’s eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Johnny yells, “Fire truck.”
The principal stunned. Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, he tells the teacher, “Put Johnny in the 5th grade, I got the last questions wrong.”
