A first grade school teacher in Virginia had twenty-five 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 the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may 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. 2. Strike while the................................. bug is close. 3. It's always darkest before................... Daylight Saving Time. 4. Never underestimate the power of ....termites. 5. You can lead a horse to water but . .. how ? 6. Don't bite the hand that .................... looks dirty. 7. No news is........................................ impossible. 8. A miss is as good as a ................... Mr. 9. You can't teach an old dog new ......... math. 10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll .......stink in the morning. 11. Love all, trust ............................... me. 12. The pen is mightier than the ............ pigs. 13. An idle mind is............................... the best way to relax. 14. Where there's smoke there's ............ pollution. 15. Happy the bride who........................ gets all the presents. 16. A penny saved is ............................ not much. 17. Two's company, three's ................ the Musketeers 18. Don't put off till tomorrow what ..... you put on to go to bed. 19.

Hi! I'm going to save this and share it with friends if you don't mind. You just saved me from getting more wrinkles. Thank you for this post. They say smiling is better than frowning and I'm glad I came across your post because I was already starting to frown. I can't find any post that I can DESCRIPTIVELY reply to :( Kids indeed say the funniest things. And oh so innocently! I find them the ultimate joy in life. Thanks again. Have a great day. Keep smiling!

I just love the things children say - I can never get enough of them even though you would think I would after 4 kids and 5 grandkids. One of my favorites is my 4 year old grandson one day last year we were sitting on the front porch and he got all serious and came over like to tell me a secret. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "My mom bearesses me." I asked him to repeat it because I didn't understand. He explained she kisses him whole bunch and it bearesses him - embarrasses. :) Now when I'm going to kiss him I tell him I'm going to bearess him and he giggles because he knows I'm going to cover him in kisses.
