Johnnie's First Grade Experience

"Johnnie's First Grade Experience"

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her
students. The teacher asks, "Johnnie! What is your problem?!"
Johnnie says, "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!"

The teacher had had enough. As a result, she took Johnnie
to the principal's office and explained Johnnie's request.
While Johnnie waited in the outer office, the teacher
explained the situation to the principal. The principal
told Johnnie's teacher that he would give the boy a test
and if Johnnie failed to answer any of the special questions,
he was to go back to the first grade and behave.
The teacher agreed. Johnnie was brought into the room.
The pricipal told Johnnie his terms and Johnnie agreed.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Johnnie: "9"

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Johnnie: "36"

Principal: "What is 9 x9?"
Johnnie: "81"

And so it went with every question the principal thought
a third grader should know. Johnnie appeared to have
a strong case. The principal looked at the teacher and told
her, "I think Johnnie can go to the third grade."

The teacher, knowing Little Johnnie's tendency toward
sexual wisecracks, said to the principal, "Let "me" ask
him some questions before we make that decision?"
The principal and Johnnie both agreed, and Johnnie
had a very sly look on his face.

The teacher began by asking, "What does a cow have 4
of that I have only 2 of?
Johnnie: "Legs."

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

The principal eyes flew wide open!! Before he could
stop Johnnie's expected answer, Johnnie said,
"Pockets."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the
teacher, "I think we should put Johnnie in the third grade.
I MISSED THE LAST TWO QUESTIONS MYSELF!"
