One day a second grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. She asked Jimmy what his problem was. He replied, “I’m too smart for the second grade. My sister is in the fourth grade, and I’m smarter than her too.”
The teacher took Jimmy to the principal’s office and explained the situation. The principal said he would give Jimmy a test. If he failed to answer one question then he would have to go back to the second grade and be quiet. The teacher and Jimmy both agreed.
Principal: “What’s 3 x 3?”
Jimmy: “9”
Principal: “What’s 6 x 6?”
Jimmy: “36”
And so it went on like this, the principal asked him every question a fourth grader should know. Finally, after about an hour, the principal told the teacher, “I see no reason why Jimmy can’t go to the fourth grade, he answered all of my questions right.”
The teacher asked if she could ask him some questions. The principal and Jimmy both agreeded.
Teacher: “What does a cow have 4 of that I only have 2 of?
Jimmy: “Legs.”
Teacher: “What do you have in your pants that I do not?
The principal gasp but before he can stop him Jimmy says, “Pockets.”
Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
Jimmy: “Pants”
Teacher: “What start with the letter F and ends with K, and means a lot of excitement?”
Jimmy: “Firetruck”
The principal breathes a big sigh of relief and say, “Put Jimmy in the fourth grade, I got those last 4 questions wrong myself.”
