Teacher asks boy questions to see if he can skip grades. Answers are too much for principal

Young children are fun to be around mainly because they always speak their mind, and most of the time they do have a lot to say. Some are way smarter for their age and leave us speechless. Take little Jimmy for example. As his answers are worth skipping a few grades, that’s not really the case with the school’s principal. This is hilarious 🙂

A second grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day, 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 him to the principal’s office and explained the situation to the principal. The principal told her that 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 is 3 x 3?”

Jimmy: “9.”

Principal: “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, he 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 agree.

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 don’t have?”

The principal gasps but before he can stop him from answering Jimmy says, “Pockets.”

Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”

Jimmy: “Pants.”

Teacher: “What starts with F and ends with K and means a lot of excitement?”

Jimmy: “Firetruck.”

The principal breaths a big sigh of relief and says

“Put Jimmy in the fourth grade. I got the last 4 questions wrong myself.”
