Recently Gleek brought home a book entitled “First Grade Wisdom.” Inside the book were the printed beginnings of familiar sayings followed by blank lines where Gleek filled in the ends of the sentences. Some of them made me laugh out loud.
Children should be seen and not…hidden (with a drawing of a child hiding under a desk.)
You can lead a horse to water but … it won’t drink all the water.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and … the whole world crys with you.
When the blind leads the blind … they go separate ways. (with a drawing of two blind people walking away from each other. One headed into a thorn patch and the other headed for a cliff with water under it.)
Better late than … not going.
Where there’s smoke there’s … forest fire.
Don’t bite the hand that … feeds you. (with a drawing of a girl crying because she bit her own hand while eating dinner.)
No news is … weird.
The pen is mightier than the … pencil.
Oh I love kids! Sounds adorable, totally a keeper. 🙂
I got a good laugh out of these.
