Wise Proverbs from 7 year olds

something interesting and hilarious yelena asked me to read during work. :P

A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. For a quiz, she gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first grade kids (6 or 7 year-olds)!
