Finish the Proverb

A first grade teacher collected some well known proverbs. 
She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb, and 
had them come up with the rest. 

Here are their completions: 

  • Better To Be Safe Than... Punch A 5th Grader.
  • Strike While The... Bug Is Close. 
  • It's Always Darkest Before... Daylight Savings Time. 
  • Never Under Estimate The Power Of...Termites. 
  • You Can Lead A Horse To Water But... How? 
  • Don't Bite The Hand That... Looks Dirty. 
  • You Can't Teach An Old Dog New... Math
  • If You Lie Down With The Dogs, You'll... Smell funny in the morning. 
  • No News Is... Impossible.
  • A Miss Is As Good As A... Mr. Love All, Trust.. Me
  • The Pen Is Mightier Than The... Pigs.
  • An Idle Mind Is... The Best Way To Relax.
  • Where There's Smoke, There's... Pollution.
  • A Penny Saved Is... Not Much.
  • Two's Company, Three's...The Musketeers.
  • Don't Put Off Until Tomorrow What...you put on to go to bed tonight.
  • Laugh And The Whole World Laughs With You, Cry And... You Have To Blow Your Nose.
  • None Is So Blind As...Helen Keller.
  • Children Should Be Seen And Not...Spanked Or Grounded.
  • If At First You Don't Succeed... Get New Batteries.
  • You Get Out Of Something What You... See Pictured On The Box.
  • When The Blind Leadeth The Blind...You better get out of the way.
  • There Is No Fool Like... Aunt Edie.

I chose these for this month because reading them gave me a 
great idea.

We recently looked through all the baby videos we have, and I
found to my horror that I had a ton of my oldest daughter, and 
none of my youngest. And it's too late to get them back. We
have to capture these moments when we can.

So why not use this same experiment on your kids? Ask them to
complete the proverbs, write it down, and save it for them. 
You can even read them at their wedding! Do it now, before
they get too old and they're not funny anymore...
