Kids say the darndest things!

Today there was a cute little email quiz going around the office that purported to determine whether you were "worthy to be called a 'professional' in the world of information technology". Successful participants are able to think simply and clearly. The test noted that most grade school children fare better than most adult professionals on this test. Sooooo, I thought I'd experiment on C, aged 4!

Here are her answers:

Q) How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Expected Answer: "Open the door. Put in the giraffe. Close the door."

C’s Answer: "First you have to hold his legs and then you have to put his body on his face and then you have to put his body in the refrigerator. Then you leave out the giraffe out because he doesn't belong there."

Q) How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Expected Answer: "Open the door. Take out the giraffe. Put in the elephant. Close the door."

C’s Answer: "First you have to hold his neck and then you have to hold his trunk and pinch his nose and then you don't have to put his body in the refrigerator - just his nose. And then he doesn't belong in there."

Q) The Lion King is holding a big meeting. All the animals of the kingdom but one show up. Which one didn’t?
Expected Answer: "The elephant. He’s in the refrigerator."

C’s Answer: "Simba."

Q) You have to cross a crocodile-infested river. How do you do it?
Expected Answer: "You just swim across. All the crocodiles are at the meeting."

C’s Answer: "You have to swim faster and faster to get faster than the crocodiles because they're going to bite Simba’s tail."

Ahhh, methinks she gonna work for....IBM! :-)
