<\/a>I woke her up when they arrived, and she was eager to go – except she was a little groggy and got into MY car. Whoops! Much laughter ensued, I assured them she’d be raring to go in about 15 minutes when she woke up, and they were off.<\/p>\n
I now have the entire house to myself – cept for the cats. I think I shall celebrate by, oh, I dunno, taking a shower without being interrupted.<\/p>\n
Bliss!<\/p>\n
And – via email from my MOM we have this joke:<\/p>\n
A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, ‘Harry, what’s your problem?’<\/p>\n
Harry answered, ‘I’m too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I’m smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal’s office.<\/p>\n
While Harry 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. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.<\/p>\n
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him, and he agreed to take the test.<\/p>\n
Principal: ‘What is 3 x 3?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ‘9.’<\/p>\n
Principal: ‘What is 6 x 6?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ’36.’<\/p>\n
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know. The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, ‘I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks says to the principal, ‘Let me ask him some questions.’<\/p>\n
The principal and Harry both agreed.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks asks, ‘What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?’<\/p>\n
Harry, after a moment: ‘Legs.’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: ‘What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?’<\/p>\n
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!<\/p>\n
Harry replied: ‘Pockets.’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: ‘What does a dog do that a man steps into?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ‘Pants.’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: What starts with a ‘C’, ends with a ‘T’, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ‘Coconut.’<\/p>\n
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: ‘What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?’<\/p>\n
The principal’s eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer,<\/p>\n
Harry replied, ‘Bubble gum.’<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: ‘What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ‘Shake hands.’<\/p>\n
The principal was trembling.<\/p>\n
Ms. Brooks: ‘What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means a lot of heat and excitement?’<\/p>\n
Harry: ‘Firetruck.’<\/p>\n
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, ‘Put Harry in the fifth-grade. I got the last seven questions wrong…’<\/p>\n
