Remember when you were in school and had to do hours and hours of research for a paper? Remember that you were completely tired and wanted to get it done so you just found yourself writing anything? Well I don’t know if that was the case with the kid below, but something tells me he’s not entirely sure who the first president of the United States was.
A Twitter user named Mikel Jollet recently shared a hilarious answer some kid gave on a question at school. The question? “Who was America’s First President?” The answer is George Washington, but the kid was clearly confused by the photo’s caption.

That’s right, President Getty Images.
And Twitter of course loved it. Here are some of the best responses:
Last week I asked my new kindergartner what an encyclopedia is. Her response was “Google?”.

Remember the legend of Mr. Images chopping down the iStockPhoto tree?

The weird part is I would take President Getty Images over Fuckface von Clownstick any day.

and yet @BetsyDeVosED was made Head of Education. Expect it to get a lot worse. America is on track to have the dumbest citizens in 20 years

I remember reading about President images in school.

Well this is a kid, so hopefully he learns from his mistake. If not, that history presentation he gives on President Images is going to be awkward.
