Additional Comments:
A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight will surprise you! While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Number 20 (Stevie Wonder) is hilarious; they all are but that and the blind leading the blind made me laugh out loud.  And it is true - little pictchers have big ears you never know what they know or what they will come out with.

I don't know that I buy these were actually written by kids (how many 6 year olds know about late periods or know who Stevie Wonder is?).  But speaking of SW, my favorite is ''There is none so blind as Stevie Wonder.''  Funny!

  • How long ago was this written? Maybe that's how they know who Stevie Wonder is.
  • When my daughters were 6 years old, you never knew what they would say, at that age they get most their information from listening to the adults around them and sometimes they will repeat something that shocks you. Remember that old saying '' Little pitchers have big ears'' :) /goldie
  • I do agree however that no six year old is going to come up with better late that pregnant. No way.
  • Probably not, unless they heard it from someone else and it stuck in their mind. Believe me Miss. Bear, my daughters said things at times that stunned me. :) /goldie
