Complete This Proverb

Normally, I don't share my hand-me-down jokes with you folks, but this is
like a word game that kids played and I thought you might like it...


A 1stgrade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She
presented each child in her classroom the 1st 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!
