Those wise old sayings from a kids "perspective!"

A first grade teacher collected some well known proverbs.

She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the saying.

This is sort of like that new TV show "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" (Which is actually just a snobs version of the TV show; "Are you smarter than a third grader?")
