Okay all of you who think you are smarter than a fourth grader, Katie has a brain teaser and needs help! If you can figure it out, feel free to give her a clue, not the answer but a little nudge in the right direction would be great. Due tomorrow and we are out of ideas! Here it goes:
What do these words have in common?
banana
dresser
grammar
potato
revive
uneven
assess
Hint: It's not because of the double letters!

I think I have the answer! Here you go.
The teacher hid the monkey's banana in the dresser drawer until he would settle down and learn his grammer. But the monkey found a potato and ate it instead. All of the sudden the monkey fell out of his monkey desk in the tree and the monkey paramedics ran to revive him but they couldn't do CPR because of the uneven surface. All of the monkey paramedics were agast at what to do until one of them remembered, "wait, we need to assess the ABC's (airway, breathing, and circulation) before we start CPR. When they checked his airway, breathing, and cirulation they found out that he was fine, he didn't need CPR, he had just fallen out of the tree because the past participle of a verb had snuck up behind him and scared him right out of the tree!
om goodness kate... rofl r o l! he he he.
I was just going to say, I don't know, and can hardly wait to find out tomorrow.
Dan wins!!! He is still smarter than our oldest child, whew! It is starting to get scary! Here's his answer!
All the words have two letters that are a mirror image:
For example in Banana there is AN which is mirrored (and therefore reversed) by the NA at the end
Kristi gets the award for most creative or as Katie says
"the kookiest!"
Wheh! I'm glad that Danny figured it out! I would have hated for Katie to have had to go to school tomorow with my crazy story!!!
Funny Kris! I had no idea but I thought Crystal said it had nothing to do with the double letters ... if it hadn't been for that diversion I'm sure I would have figured it out. Not!
Kate definitely wins the contest for most creative. I bet Katie's teachers would think her response is hilarious!
Alright, Dan was almost correct. If you take the first letter of each word and move it to the end...read backwards it is the same word. banana-ananab
So the question should have been:
'What TWO things do these words have in common'
I hate puzzles like this. I'm sure they were created by the same sadistic people that like to make up crossword puzzle clues!
I got in on this puzzle a little late--I'm glad Dan almost figured it out because I never would have. I loved Kristi's answer. Did you take it to your teacher Katie? (crossword clues I can usually figure out.)
