good point

While testing a student. Asking projective questions.

Me: If you could be any animal, what would it be?
Student: Umm, a scorpion, 'cause they're not scared of nothin'

Me: If there was an animal you would Not want to be, what would it be?
Student: (thinking) I guess a squid.
Me: A squid? Why?
Student: Why would anybody want that many legs? That's just excessive.

i hope you stopped there. no more testing for that kiddo. i mean, just give that child an iq score of 120. "excessive"...really? genius, i tell ya. genius.

almost as smart as when billy smith asked that child what the four seasons were. his answer, "duck, deer, bow, and dove". pretty sure that kid knows all the words to "a country boy can survive".
