While Eddy waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.
The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.
The teacher agreed.
Eddy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Eddy: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Eddy: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.
The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Eddy can go to the third-grade".
The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?"
The principal and Eddy both agree.
The teacher asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Eddy, after a moment, "Legs".
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!
Eddy replied, "Pockets".
Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Eddy: "Pants".
Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"
Eddy: "Coconut".
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Eddy was taking charge.
Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
Eddy: "Bubblegum".
Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?"
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer.
Eddy: "Shake hands".
Teacher: "Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay?"
Eddy: "Yep".
Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do".
Eddy: "Tent".
Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first".
Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Eddy: "Wedding Ring".
Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good".
Eddy: "Nose".
Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver".
Eddy: "Arrow".
Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement?"
Eddy: "Firetruck".
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Eddy in the fifth-grade, I missed the last ten questions myself."
