Wisdom on Wednesday

I just love these~~ when I think of wisdom... I cannot help but recall how many times my children or other littles in my life have provided just that! Simple words spun from an innocent mind. I had to go looking for the following as I had read it long ago and wanted to share for todays something to think about ;) Enjoy!

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

As you shall make your bed so.... shall you mess it up.
Better be safe than.... punch a 5th grader.
Strike while the.... bug is close.
Its always darkest before.... daylight savings time
You can lead a horse to water but.... how?
Don't bite the hand that..... looks dirty.
A miss is as good as a....Mr.
You can't teach an old dog new..... math.
If you lie down with the dogs..... you'll stink in the morning.
The pen is mightier than the...pigs
An idle mind is..... the best way to relax.
Where there's smoke, there's....pollution.
Happy the bride who.... gets all the presents.
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.
When the blind leadeth the blind......get out of the way.

Refreshing!! How I love children and all of their wise ways.
