Proverbs As Told By Children

I found this online and read it to the teens in our church last night. Bill Cosby must have spent some time talking to these kids!

A first grade teacher collected old, well known proverbs. She gave each kid in her class the first half of a proverb, and had them come up with the rest. Here's a sampling:

As you shall make your bed so shall you...mess it up.

Better to be safe than...punch a 5th grader.

It's always darkest before...daylight savings time.

You can lead a horse to water but...how?

Don't bite the hand that...looks dirty.

A miss is as good as a...Mr.

You can't teach an old dog new...math.

An idle mind is...the best way to relax.

Where there's smoke there's...pollution.

If at first you don't succeed...get new batteries.

You get out of something what...you see pictured on the box.
