Are YOU smarter than a 4th grader?

1. Who was Sacajawea's son?
2. Name the stages in the life cycle of a salmon.
3. What are the names of the three angles?
4. What is an idiom?

If you cannot answer these questions, you are NOT smarter than a 4th grader!

The evening for Shane and I went down a little like this: we went to each student's desk and picked a category: science, math, language, or history.  When we didn't answer the question correctly, the student snickered or laughed at us and made us say "I am NOT smarter than a 4th grader." 

Kennedy had been looking forward to this for weeks.  So much so that last week she was talking about the questions she was going to ask us.  Shane even tried looking up a few of the answers ahead of time which I find hilarious.  He apparently wanted to be more smarter than a 4th grader than I did :)  (I need some 4th grade language arts training with that prior sentence structure).

But even with his cheating we unfortunately had to say this phrase over and over.

This is Shane using his best Ron Burgandy voice trying to B.S. his way through the life cycle stages of salmon. Kennedy wasn't buying it.
