myLot reputation of 82/100. gimmemoremoney (137) 4 years ago

When browsing around my World of Warcraft guild's forum I came across this post which made me laugh for a while hehe.

A first grade school teacher in Virginia had 25 students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with te remainder of the proverb.

It's hard to believe these were actually don't by first-graders. their insight might surprise you. while reading , keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

1. Don't change horses....... until they stop running.
