VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

jrodriguez315

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!

1. Don't change horses. . . until they stop running.
2. Strike while. . . the bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before. . . Daylight Saving Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of. . . termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water but. . . How?
6. Don't bite the hand that. . . looks dirty.
7. No news is. . . impossible
8. A miss is as good as a. . . Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new. . . Math
10. If you lie down with dogs. . . you'll stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust. . . Me.
12. The pen is mightier than the. . . pigs.
13. An idle mind is. . . the best way to relax .
14. Where there's smoke there's. . . pollution.
15. Happy the bride who. . . gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is. . . not much.
17. Two's company, three's. . . the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what. . . you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and. . . You have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as. . . Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and not. . . spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed. . . get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you. . . See in the picture on the box
24. When the blind lead the blind. . . get out of the way.

My sister sent me an email about my nephew, who was learning short vowel sounds in class that day. They were on the 'u' list, and he got the word 'but' to use in a sentence.

"Your 'but' is the color of a peach!"

i love the story my friend lizzie told me about her nephew, who waxed on and on about pork-uh-lane. that he'd read about it and thought it was pretty incredible and marveled at it dating back centuries.

porcelain.

same friend pronounced 'yeoman' in a college class as YEE-o-man. oh boy.

i discovered the correct pronunciation of 'detritus' (wow! the emphasis is on the second syllable. whoduthunkit?). that started the whole conversation between said friend and me.

Detritus... isn't the plural designation for people who live in Detroit as pronounced in New Jersey or Boston?

I played Rock Band at my friend's house a few weeks ago and their oldest son Stephen was watching. I was singing "Learning To Fly" by the Foo Fighters and I got a score of 100%.

The next week Stephen and his mother were in the car and "Learning to Fly" was playing on the radio. Stephen turned to his mom and said" That guy sounds just like Tom Dheere!"
