Today, I had my first ever shift at the zoo. My job is to explain the characteristics and habits of various animals to the visitors. A five-year-old outsmarted me while I was talking about lions. FML

Personally, I don't blame you. There are some really bright 5-year-olds out there. But, either way shouldn't YOU, as the zoo employ know more?

If he's that good at 5, when he grows up he probably will work there

Well I guess your life is over. Would you like me to help you jump off a bridge?

I'm sure the kid just pointed something out, like: "Don't lions eat zebras?" or "Don't boy lions have manes?". I doubt he was being a straight-up smartass. At that age he probably doesn't even know how to be a smartass.

That's a rare occasion. A year old outsmarting a man.

I meant a 5 year old my phone was acting weird.

If your job is to educate people you should make sure you know yours stuff before you start. It may be OP's first day, but they should have done their research beforehand.

Some younger kids have obsessions with certain things and make it their mission to know everything about that thing. Don't worry about it OP.

Exactly, a child obsessed could get a phd in their field of interest easier than an adult probably.

That means you're NOT smarter than a 5th grader!

If OP isn't "smart" enough to top a five-yr-old, then he's certainly not "smart" enough for a 5th grader, according to 42's logic.
