Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Jeff Foxworthy's, Are you smarter than a 5th grader, has recently become my favorite show and something that I legitimately look forward to every day. Because my schedule does not allow me to catch every episode, on Fox at 5pm, I have recently made the huge investment in buying the board game.

Now I will be the first to admit that my K-5 years did not include a whole lot of productivity and I spent more time in the bathroom or in the principle's office then a did in class. Even still, now just 3 months away from graduating college, I felt like this game would be not only fun but would also provide me with a bit of confidence. So far, though I enjoy playing the game, I have gained more knowledge then confidence and realize now how important those k-5 years are for learning and retaining information.

Today I missed the following questions...see if you know them!

1st grade reading: What did georgie porgie do to make the girls cry?
3rd grade english: Which one of the following critters was NOT featured in the Wind in the Willows?
a. mole
b. toad
c. buzzard
My name is Angela Kinney and I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader...as of now!
I am trying to get a hold of Adam Sandler to see if he could hook me up with his people and repeat 1st-12th grade, two weeks for each grade, then I will be prepared to go mono y mono with the annoying smart 5th graders that always turned and said to me "shhh, I am trying to listen." or "stop flingning rubber bands, it is distracting.

good night. good weekend.
