Okay, last one today, I swear.

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked "Johnny, what is your problem?

Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister is in 3rd grade & I am smarter than she is! I think I should be in 3rd grade too!"

The teacher had had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the problem was. The principal told the teacher 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. The teacher agreed.

Johnny is brought in and the conditions are explained to him & he agrees to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Johnny: "9".

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Johnny: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the 3rd grade."

The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Johnny both agree.

The teachers asks, "What does a cow have 4 of that I have only 2 of?"

Johnny, after a moment: "Legs."

Teacher: "What's in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

The principle's eyes open really wide, but before he could stop the answer, Johnny replied, "Pockets."

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

Johnny: "Pants"

Teacher: "What word starts with an "F" and ends in "K" that means a lot of excitement?"

Johnny: "Firetruck"

The principal breathes a sigh of relief and tells the teacher, "Put Johnny in 5th grade, I missed the last four questions myself."
