A third-grade teacher was having a real challenge with one of her students — a sharp, spirited little boy who kept insisting:

“Miss, I belong in the fourth grade! I’m smarter than my sister, and she’s already there!”

Tired of going in circles with him, the teacher brought him to the principal’s office.

The principal, curious, decided to put the boy to the test.

Principal: “Let’s see… what’s 3 + 3?”
Boy: “Six.”

Principal: “Okay. What’s 6 + 6?”
Boy: “Twelve.”

The boy answered every question with confidence and accuracy. Impressed, the principal nodded and turned to the teacher:

“He’s right. Move him up a grade.”

But the teacher wasn’t convinced just yet.
“Mind if I ask him a few questions of my own?” she asked.

The principal agreed.

The teacher stepped forward with a sly smile.

Teacher: “What does a cow have four of… that I only have two?”
Boy: “Legs!”

Teacher: “What’s in your pants but not in mine?”
Boy: “Pockets!”

Teacher: “What starts with a ‘C’, ends with a ‘T’, is hairy in the middle, and contains a sweet liquid?”
Boy: “Coconut!”

The principal shifted awkwardly in his chair.

Teacher: “What goes in hard and dry, but comes out soft and sticky?”
Boy: “Chewing gum!”

The principal loosened his tie.

Teacher: “You tie me down to keep me standing. What am I?”
Boy: “A tent!”

Now the principal was starting to sweat.

Teacher: “What gets bigger when you pull on it, fits between two things, and can save your life in an accident?”
Boy: “A seatbelt!”

The principal exhaled in relief.

But then came the final challenge.

Teacher: “What starts with ‘F’ and ends with ‘K’, and if you don’t get it, you might have to use your hands?”

The principal gasped in horror, but the boy proudly answered:

Boy: “Fork!”

The room went silent.

Then the principal stood up, threw his hands in the air, and exclaimed:

“Forget fourth grade — send this kid straight to college! I missed every single one of those questions!”
