A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her
students.
The teacher asked, "Norman what is your problem?"
Norman 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!"
The teacher had had enough. She took Norman to the principal's
office.
While Norman waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to
the principal what the situation was. The principal told the
teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer
any of his questions he was to go back to the first grade and
behave. The teacher agreed.
Norman was brought in and the conditions are explained to him and
he agrees to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Norman: "9"
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Norman: "36"
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third
grader should know.
The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Norman
can go to the third grade."
The teacher says to the principal, "May I ask him some
questions?"
The principal and Norman both nod in agreement. The teacher
asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Norman, after a moment: "Legs."
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop
the answer.
Norman replied, "Pockets."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher,
"Put Norman in the fifth grade, I missed the last two questions
myself."
