A teacher was having problems with one of her first-grade students. One day, she approached Wilson about his dilemma.”I am too brilliant for first grade. Wilson said, “My sister is in third grade, and I am smarter than her too.” Wilson was taken to the principal’s office, where his instructor described the situation. The principal informed her that he would give Wilson a test, and if he failed to answer one question, he would have to return to first grade and be quiet.

The teacher and Wilson agreed. “What is 3 times 3?” the principal inquired. “9,” Wilson said. “6 times 6?” “36.” And so it went on, with the principal asking him every question a third-grader should know. After approximately one hour, he informed the teacher, “I see no reason why Wilson can’t go to the third grade, he answered all of my questions right.”

The teacher asked if she might ask him some questions too. The principal and Wilson agreed. “What does a cow have four of that I only have two of?” The teacher inquired. “Legs,” Wilson stated. “What do you have in your pants that I don’t have?” The principal gasped, but before he could stop him, Wilson replied, “Pockets.”

The principal breathed a big sigh of relief and said, “Put Wilson in the fifth grade, I got the last four questions wrong myself.”
