Creative answers to IQ test prompts

Me to six year old developmentally delayed Gavin: Gavin, what is a cow? Gavin: A cow is a bovine.

Me, explaining how to do a maze to five-year-old Michael: Now Michael, see this little squirrel? Put your pencil on the squirrel and take him to this tree over here. (Michael enjoys taking his squirrel all over the page, everywhere but the tree) Me: OK, very nice Michael. Let's try again. This time take your squirrel over here to this nice tree. (Michael proceeds to take his squirrel on a long and squiggly journey around the page) Me: (very firmly, but nicely) OK, now this squirrel has been all over the page. This time, I need you to take your (blankety-blank, just kidding) squirrel over here to the tree. Michael: My squirrel doesn't like trees.

Me: Trevor, I am going to say some numbers to you and I would like you to say them back to me backwards. Let's try one. "Two, four." Trevor: Rof, oot.

Me: Brooke, what does transparent mean? Brooke: That is your foster parent.

Me: What does migrate mean? Child: It's a bad headache.
