6 year old proverbs

My sister sent these to me today and they gave me a good chuckle! I can just see my 6 year old saying many of these! I should do the same with him and see what he comes up with!

Enjoy!

A 1st grade 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!

Those are hilarious. I like the one about the idle mind. Mine is like that frequently.
