A first-grade teacher, Ms Brooks was having trouble
with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Tom
what is your problem?"

Tom 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!"

Ms Brooks had enough. She took Tom to the
principal's office.

While Tom 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 first grade and behave.

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

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Tom: "9".

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Tom: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal
thought a third-grade should know.The principal looks
at Ms Brooks and tells her, "I think Tom can go to
the third-grade."

Ms Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some
questions?"

The principal and Tom both agree.

Ms Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I
have only two of?

Tom, after a moment "Legs."

Ms Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I
do not have?"

Tom: "Pockets."
Ms Brooks: What starts with a C and ends with a T is
hairy,oval,and delicious and contains thin whitish
liquid?

Tom: 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,But Tom was taking charge.

Tom: Bubblegum

Ms Brooks: What does a man do standing up, a woman
does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he
could stop the answer...

Tom: Shake hands.

Ms Brooks: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of
questions, okay?

Ms Brooks: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me
down to get me up.I get wet before you do.

Tom: Tent.

Ms Brooks: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me
when you're bored. The best man always has me first.

The Principal was looking restless and a bit tense.

Tom: Wedding Ring.

Ms Brooks: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I
drip. When you blow me, you feel good.

Tom: Nose.

Ms Brooks: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I
come with a quiver.

Tom: Arrow.

Ms Brooks: What word starts with 'F' and ends in 'K'
that means a lot of heat and excitement?

Tom: Fire truck.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to
the teacher,"Send Tom to University, I got the last
ten questions wrong myself!"
