Mary taught first grade. She had a class of twenty-five adorable 6yr olds. One day Mary gave each child the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to write in the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these funny proverbs were actually written first graders. While reading the results, keep in mind that these are only first graders, just 6 years olds.

No news is............................impossible.
Love all, trust....................... me.
An idle mind is........................the best way to relax.
Strike while the.......................bug is close.
Better late than.......................pregnant.
A penny saved is...................... not much.
Don't change horses....................until they stop running.
A miss is as good as a ................... Mr.
Happy is the bride who......................gets all the presents.
Two's company, three's....................... the Musketeers.
Don't bite the hand that...................... looks dirty.
It's always darkest before......................Daylight Saving Time.
There are none so blind as .................... Stevie Wonder.
Where there's smoke there's ................... pollution.
The pen is mightier than the..................... pigs.
If at first you don't succeed...................... get new batteries.
When the blind lead the blind .................... get out of the way!
Children should be seen and not ..................spanked or grounded.
You can't teach an old dog new .............. ....math.
Don't put off till tomorrow what.................... you put on to go to bed.
If you lie down with dogs, you'll...................... stink in the morning.
You can lead a horse to water but .................. how?
Never underestimate the power of .................... termites.
You get out of something only what you ............... see in the picture on the box.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you.............. cry and you have to blow your nose.
