Here's what I want to talk about today.
There is something called yahoo answers, have you heard of that the yahoo answers?
Yep, it's an encyclopedia
if it was written by people who have no idea what an encyclopedia is.
People post questions and
anyone can answer them whether you know the answer or not.
And it gave me an idea for a new game.
It's time to play Yahoo Would Say That.
Alright so what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the question and
you're going to tell me what you think the answer is.
Is that right?
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do.
And we're gonna give a prize if you know what the answer might be or
if you match something on the board.
And I may give you a prize if you're wrong cuz it's my game and
I can make up the rules.
So. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Hi.
>> Hi. >> How you doing?
>> I'm >> Hello, how are you?
>> Good, what's your name?
>> I'm Catherine. >> Catherine,
where do you live, what do you do?
>> I live in Hawthorne California, I am a teacher, but
I'm currently home with my baby girl.
>> Aw, how old is your baby girl?
>> Eight months.
>> Aw, that's adorable, what's her name?
>> Tessa. >> Hello, Tessa, mommy's right there.
>> [LAUGH] >> Just, you left some food out and
stuff, or?
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah.
I left her with a perfect stranger today for like the first time, so.
>> My God. >> That's how much I love you.
>> Wow. >> I mean she's a nanny but, I just meant.
>> Yeah I know but that must be scary.
>> We just met. Yeah, it's okay.
>> For the very first time.
>> Yeah, with a, yeah.
So I'm so happy to be here.
>> Yeah, I'm happy to have you here, and boy I can't imagine how scary that is,
but anyway.
>> It's okay.
>> She's gonna be fine, yes.
>> [LAUGH] >> Yes, she's eight months old.
She can fend for herself.
>> [LAUGH] >> All right, who invented water?
What would you say to that?
And it doesn't matter if it matches or not,
I'm just wondering what your answer is.
>> Women.
>> Women?
>> [NOISE] >> [LAUGH]
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Before the milk came in actually.
>> [LAUGH] >> It was water and
then all of a sudden God said, well we need milk too, and then yeah.
>> [LAUGH] >> All right, women.
I don't think it's on the board but that's a good answer to try.
No, it's not on the board.
Let's see what number four is.
God.
Sure, God would be, I would think number one, but this is number four.
Let's see what number three is.
Your mom.
Which is women, you know what, that kind of did match, that's women.
So, I think number two is good too, Mother Nature.
>> Another woman.
>> And number one.
[SOUND] Water was not invented which is true.
It was, it's here.
It's- >> [LAUGH]
>> Part of the whole nature thing we have.
All right, but you still, no matter what cuz it's my game, you get a $150.
>> Thank you. >> Good play.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> All right thank you

>> I'm gonna cry about it.
>> Don't cry.

>> Anything you say, Ellen.
All right, what's your name?
>> My name. Valerie?
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah.
>> [LAUGH] >> Valerie.
>> Is that right?
>> Correct.
>> It seemed like a guess.
>> Yeah, no.
It's Valerie.
>> And where do you live?
And what do you do? >> I'm originally from Honolulu, Hawaii.
But, I live in Palo Alto, California, right now.
>> And what do you do?
>> I'm a teacher.
>> A teacher!
>> Yes. >> What grade?
>> Fourth grade. Hello, Oak family!
>> Hi Oak family! >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Look who's here.
Your teacher's here. >> [LAUGH] What do they,
they call you Ms. Valerie?
>> They call me Mrs. Hu.
>> Who?
Your last name is Who?
>> Yes, H-U.
There's lots of jokes that happen at school.
>> I'm sure there are.
I'm not gonna make one.
>> They like to say, who let the dogs out?
And they say, why'd you let the dogs out?
>> That's funny.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] Who is here.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
>> There are so many of them.
>> There are so many.
>> Here, you hold this and I'm gonna ask you a question and
the question is how are baby's made?
What would you say?
Dear fourth graders how would you explain it?
>> I would say, reproduction.
>> That doesn't explain anything.
[LAUGH] >> But I would say with AT Science.
>> Reproduction?
>> Reproduction.
>> And no one asked a follow up question like what is reproduction?
How does that happen?
>> No.
[LAUGH] >> Well, I am asking you then.
>> I would say ask your parents.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE]
>> They are not gonna tell me.
>> My gosh.
>> The never did tell me.
>> I'm sorry.
>> I still don't know.
>> We can talk later if you want.
>> Okay, so here's what people said.
The number four answer was, by mistake.
[LAUGH] >> No.
Not all babies, no.
>> [LAUGH] >> Number three, a stork delivers them.
That's too confusing for children.
I don't think you should say that cuz a bird could drop something that high up.
Number two is a sperm fertilizes an egg.
That's good.
>> Very scientific.
>> That's good.
And then, this is my favorite.
This is how babies are made.
>> [NOISE] >> Mommy and daddy have a special hug.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE] >> It is a special hug.
All right, you have $150.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome.
>> Thank you so much
