Too Smart For First Grade

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 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 the situation to the principal. 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 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 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'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? The principal's eyes open 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?" The
principal's eyes opened really wide and before he
could stop the answer. Harry: "Shake hands"

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."
