Duck-Billed Platypus: The Odd Child Genius
Posted On February 14th, 2023 By Funny Jokes
A teacher in a third-grade class asks her students to draw a picture of their favorite animal. After a few minutes, she looks at the drawings and sees that almost all of the kids have drawn a picture of a dog, cat, or horse.
One student’s drawing catches her eye, however. It’s a picture of an animal that she’s never seen before. She asks the student what it is, and the student replies, “It’s a duck-billed platypus.”
The teacher is impressed and asks the student to tell the class about the animal. The student says, “The duck-billed platypus is a mammal that lays eggs. It has webbed feet like a duck, a bill like a platypus, and a tail like a beaver.”
The teacher is fascinated and asks the student where he learned about the duck-billed platypus. The student says, “I made it up.”
