Smart Kid

An Infant teacher, Ms. Smith, was having trouble with one of her pupils. The teacher asked, “The boy, what’s your problem?”

The boy answered, “I’m too smart for the Infants. My sister is in the juniors and I’m smarter than she is! I think I should be in the juniors too!”

Ms. Smith had had enough. She took the boy to the Headmasters office.

While the boy waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the headmaster what the situation was. The headmaster told Ms. Smith he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the Infants and behave.

The boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Headmaster: “What is 3 x 3?”
The boy: “9.”

Headmaster: “What is 6 x 6?”
The boy: “36.”

And so it went with every question the headmaster thought a junior should know.

The headmaster looks at Ms. Smith and tells her, “I think the boy can go to the juniors.”  Ms. Smith says to the headmaster, “Let me ask him some questions.”  The headmaster and the boy both agreed.

Ms. Smith asks, “What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?”
The Headmaster was horrified and his eyes opened wide.
The boy: “Legs.”

Ms Smith: “What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?”
The headmaster wondered why would she ask such a question!
The boy replied: “Pockets.”

Ms. Smith: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
The boy: “Pants.”

Ms. Smith: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?”
The headmaster sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
The boy: “Coconut.”

Ms. Smith: “What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?”
The headmaster’s eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the boy, he replied.
The boy: “Bubble gum.”

Ms. Smith: “What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?”
The headmaster was trembling.
The boy: “Shake hands.”

Ms. Smith: “What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means a lot of heat and excitement?”
The boy: “Firetruck.”

The headmaster breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, “Put the boy in the seniors.” Ms Smith asked “Why the seniors?” to which the headmaster replied “I got the last seven questions wrong.”
