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!

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.
