Esta in 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 to the
principal what the situation was. 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 gra der
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 said: "Bubble gum"
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and
a dog do on three legs?"
Before the principal could say anything, Harry said: "Shake hands"
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' and means a
lot of heat and excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck"
