Kids these days are super intelligent. Not only are the book smart, but they’re also what I like to call “digital natives,” meaning that the use of modern technology is as native to them as microwaves and old school TVs are to folks from previous generations. If you were born before the late 1990s, everything new is something you have to learn. However, young adults and kiddos grow up knowing how to use these amazing modern tools. But it’s not just technology. Today’s youth know a lot of stuff in general. They’ve learned a lot from watching TV, but also, having use of the internet for their entire lives has had the sum of all human knowledge at their fingertips. Also, they’ve grown up with all of the cliche memes and jokes, so they know a lot of answers to questions that may stump those of us who are a bit older. The youngster in the joke below can answer things that his principal’s (slightly dirty) mind didn’t get. Enjoy this hilarious joke.
A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day she asked Johnny 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 Johnny a test, and if he failed to answer one question, he would have to go back to the first grade and be quiet. The teacher and Johnny both agreed.
Principal: “What is 3 x 3?”
Johnny: “9.”
Principal: “6 x 6?”
Johnny: “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 Johnny can’t go to the third grade, he answered all of my questions right.”
The teacher asked if she could ask him some questions. The principal and Johnny agree.
Teacher: “What does a cow have 4 of that I only have 2 of?”
Johnny: “Legs.”
Teacher: “What do you have in your pants that I don’t have?”
The principal gasps, but before he can stop him from answering Johnny says, “Pockets.”
Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
Johnny: “Pants.”
Teacher: “What starts with F and ends with K and means a lot of excitement?”
Johnny: “Firetruck.”
The principal breaths a big sigh of relief and says, “Put Johnny in the fifth grade, I got the last four questions wrong myself.”
