1st grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, "Harry, what is 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 took Harry to the principal's office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, she explained the situation.
The principal said he would give the boy a test.
If he failed any of the questions he would go back to the 1st grade and behave.
She agreed
.Harry was brought in 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 do you have in your pants that I do not have in mine?"
(The principal wondered, why does 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 starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"
Harry: "Coconut"
Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"(The principal's eyes open really wide & before he could stop the answer...)
Harry: "Bubble gum"
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?"
Harry: "Shake hands"
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat & 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!"
