A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day she asked Brennen what his problem was he replied, "I'm too smart for the first grade, my sister is in the third 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 Brennen a test, and if he failed to answer one question he would go back to the first grade and be quiet. 

The teacher and Brennen both agreed.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3"

Brennen: "9"

Principal: "6 x 6"

Brennen: "36"

And so it went on like this, the principal asked him every question a third grader should know. Finally after about an hour he told the teacher. "I see no reason Brennen can't go to the third grade, he answered all my questions right." 

The teacher asked if she could ask him some questions. The principal and Brennen agreed. 

Teacher: "What does a cow have 4 of that I only have 2 of?"

Brennen: "Legs"

Teacher: "What do you have in your pants that don't have?" the principal gasps but before he can stop him from answering Brennen says, "Pockets"

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

Brennen: "Pants"

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

Brennen: "Firetruck"

The principal breaths a big sigh of relief and says, "Put Brennen in the fifth grade, I got the last 4 questions wrong myself."
