Teacher vs. Student

A first-grade teacher, Miss X, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Y, what's your problem?"

Y answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister is in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third grade too!"

Miss X had enough. She took Y to the Z's office.

While Y waited in the office, X explained to the Z what the situation was. Z told X he would give Y a test. If Y failed to answer any of his questions Y has to go back to the first grade and behave. X agreed.

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

Z: "What is 3 x 3?"

Y: "9."

Z: "What is 6 x 6?"

Y: "36."

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know.

Z looks at Miss X and tells her, "I think Y can go to the third grade."

Miss X says to the Z, "Let me ask him some questions."

Z and Y both agreed.

Miss X asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"

Y, after a moment: "Legs."

Miss X: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

Z wondered why she would ask such a question!

Y replied: "Pockets."

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

Y: "Pants."

Miss X: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, and delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?"

Y: "Coconut."

Z sat forward with his mouth hanging open.

Miss X: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"

Z's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Y replied, "Bubble gum."

Miss X: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"

Y: "Shake hands."

Z was trembling.

Miss X: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"

Y: "Fire truck."

Z breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong.
