Are you smarter than a preschooler?

I recently got an email asking me if I was smarter than a preschooler. It was confirmed that I wasn’t. Let’s see how you do.
Which way is the school bus traveling?
Look carefully at the picture if you are having a hard time.
Preschoolers all over the US were asked which direction the school bus was traveling and 90% said that the bus was traveling to the left.
When asked how they got that answer, they said…
The bus had to be traveling to the left because the door was not seen.
Now how dumb or smart do you feel? Don’t forget to vote to let us know if you got the direction correct.
FYI, I did not get it right. Let’s hope Karen did.

Now if you lived in Australia and said right you would be correct ~~ as the door to the bus is on the opposite side, being the left side in this case.
I showed this to my middle school kids. None of them got it either. It was alot of fun. Does anyone know where you can get more puzzles like this one? My kids loved it!!
I am not smarter than a preschooler either
Ask those smart kids why their parents have the same handwriting as Santa Claus, and see what you get for answers. Then we’ll see who’s smarter.

“…same handwriting as Santa Claus…”
Oh that’s funny! That’s TOTALLY how I found out that Santa was really mommy. I was 5 that year and she’d written my name all over my school stuff, as well as had me practice writing my name too. So when I saw my (and my sister’s) Barbie clothes case, I instantly recognized the handwriting and had to explain the situation to my 7 year old sister!
Wonder how I’d have done on this back then? I did ride the bus then…
Intuition said ‘left’. I went along. This from an ‘old fart’.
i dont know how you answer but it is going left
mi 3 triplet sisters that are 4 1/2 all got it wrong but i got it right and i am 12 and mi twin sis jen got it right to
