A first-grade teacher was having trouble keeping one of her students attentive in class. Finally, she pulled him aside and asked what was wrong. “I’m simply too smart for first grade,” little Johnny said confidently. “My sister is in third grade, and I’m a lot smarter than she is, too!” Tired of the disruptions, the teacher took him to the principal and explained the situation. The principal decided to test Johnny himself. “Johnny, if you miss even one question, you’ll go right back to first grade and sit quietly for the rest of the year.” Johnny agreed. “What’s 3 times 3?” “9.” “What’s 6 times 6?” “36.” The principal continued questioning him for nearly an hour, covering everything an average third grader should know. Finally, he closed his notebook. “I see no reason Johnny can’t skip ahead to third grade. He hasn’t missed a single question.” The teacher smiled. “If you don’t mind, Principal, I’d like to ask him a few questions myself.” The principal agreed. “What does a cow have four of that I only have two of?” “Legs.” “What do you have in your pants right now that I don’t have in mine?” “Pockets.” “What does a dog do that a man steps into?” “Pants.” “What starts with an F, ends with a K, and is associated with a lot of loud excitement?” “Firetruck.” The principal sat there in stunned silence. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed with relief. “Send Johnny straight to the fifth grade. I got the last four questions wrong myself.”
