Son goes for NTSE for class III. It being Talent Search, I did not teach him, wanted to know his take.
Son comes back. He has marked options on question paper.Couple of pleasant and unpleasant surprises and then the question
Q. Select the odd one out
a. Deer b. Elephant
c. Tiger d. Rabbit
Answer marked is Elephant. Asked why so. Pat comes the reply,"Because Elephants don't jump, or pounce! "
[......]
"Have you ever seen an elephant jump?", asks he and hops on to the bed to get some sleep.

He is smart kiddo! I think this gen kids are born with some super brain , that we canno't simply manage their questions :)
ReplyDeleteHe he they are clever it took me a second to get answer I thought its tiger rest are veggies and tiger is t the carnivorous hmm but I am sure he is right.
ReplyDeleteAnd glad to see a post
How are you doing.

Out of box thinking , as they say.He will go places, a bright kid.
ReplyDeleteI hope that was a joke and a real talent searching question.
ReplyDeleteBut the kid , he is indeed a kid that will go places.
Your son is way too smart.
ReplyDeleteSmart kid! Was that the right answer? :D I am still figuring it out!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! This is something called thinking out of the box. :)
ReplyDeleteDear friends,
ReplyDeleteI just hope that all of you are on the panel that checks the papers.
Smartie he is...
ReplyDeleteAnd, that is exactly what we must aim for all our kids -- an inquisitive mind and a lateral approach to thinking. Perspective changes solutions; well done to your boy!
ReplyDeleteThere should have been a 'give reason for your answer' column. He is right and deserves and star for this one!How come the adults don't get it?

And I would have got a smart bahu
Kids are not trained to think the way we are! Hence, and in most cases their logic is original and out of the box.. :)
ReplyDeleteI am already his certified fan. With this he goes a notch higher and I look up to him, even more. I am sure he's going to be a creative guy when he grows up. I just hope the teacher asks him to explain his point of view. His answer is not wrong in anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteShesha
ReplyDeleteMaybe a reframed question like Point the odd one on basis of food habits might have brought him to think like us. But then we would have missed the fun:)

He just happens to have a different point of view.
we old timers would answer Tiger, being straight forward. But the new gen kids are more intelligent.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely original.. me likes!

I'm not for child marriage and so he is still single or if the the question was whether I have more of the kind; well one elder to him aged 12
