Smart Kid
A first-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 first-grade.
My sister is in the third -grade and I'm
smarter than she is! I think I should be in the
third-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 and if he failed to
answer any of his questions he was to go back to the
first-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 third-grade should know. The
principal looks at Ms Brooks and tells her, "I think
Harry can go to the third-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 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's 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?
Harry: Bubblegum
Ms Brooks: What does a man do standing up, a woman do
sitting down and a
dog do on three legs? The principal's eyes open
really wide and before he could stop the
answer.
Harry: Shake hands
Ms Brooks: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of
questions, okay?
Harry: Yep.
Ms Brooks: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me
down to get me up.
I get wet before you do.
Harry: Tent
Ms Brooks: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me
when you're bored.
The best man always has me first.
The Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Harry: Wedding Ring
Ms Brooks: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I
drip. When you blow me, you feel
good.
Harry: Nose
Ms Brooks: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I
come with quiver.
Harry: Arrow
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 ten questions wrong myself."
