Mixing Proverbs With Six Year Olds

I received an email today that had me laughing so hard I cried. A first grade teacher presented her students with the beginning of well-known proverbs and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverbs. There were 26 in all, but for the purpose of Thursday Thirteen, I chose my thirteen favorites. It was tough to let some of them go because they are all very funny.

Don’t bite the hand that … looks dirty.

No news is … impossible.

If you lie down with dogs, you’ll … stink in the morning.

The pen is mightier than the … pigs.

An idle mind is … the best way to relax.

A penny saved is … not much.

Two’s company, three’s … the Musketeers.

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and … you have to blow your nose.

Children should be seen and not … spanked or grounded.

If at first you don’t succeed … get new batteries.

When the blind lead the blind … get out of the way.

A bird in the hand … is going to poop on you.

Better late than … pregnant.
