A third-grade teacher was having a tough time with a boy in her class.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeacher, I should be in the fourth grade! I\u2019m smarter than my sister, and she\u2019s in fourth!\u201d the boy insisted.<\/p>\n
The teacher, tired of arguing, took him to the principal. The principal decided to test him with a few fourth-grade questions.<\/p>\n
Principal: \u201cWhat is 3+3?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201c6.\u201d<\/p>\n
Principal: \u201cWhat is 6+6?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201c12.\u201d<\/p>\n
The boy answered every question correctly. Impressed, the principal told the teacher to move him up to the fourth grade.<\/p>\n
But the teacher had her doubts. \u201cCan I ask him some of my own questions?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
The principal agreed.<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cWhat does a cow have four of that I only have two?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cLegs!\u201d<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cWhat is in your pants that I don\u2019t have in mine?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cPockets!\u201d<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cWhat starts with \u2018C\u2019, ends with \u2018T\u2019, is hairy, oval, and contains a sweet liquid?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cCoconut!\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal shifted in his chair.<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cWhat goes in hard and dry, then comes out soft and sticky?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cChewing gum!\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal wiped his forehead.<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cYou tie me down to keep me up. What am I?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cA tent!\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal was getting nervous.<\/p>\n
Teacher: \u201cWhat gets bigger when you pull it, fits neatly between two things, and can save your life?\u201d
\nBoy: \u201cA seatbelt!\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal sighed in relief.<\/p>\n
The teacher continued, \u201cWhat starts with \u2018F\u2019 and ends with \u2018K\u2019 and if you don\u2019t get it, you might use your hands?\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal gasped, but the boy confidently answered, \u201cFork!\u201d<\/p>\n
The principal had enough. \u201cOkay, send this boy straight to college! I got all the answers wrong myself!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
