Funny Proverbs - According to 6 year olds

Mary taught first grade. She had a class of twenty-five adorable 6yr olds. One day Mary gave each child the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to write in the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these funny proverbs were actually written first graders. While reading the results, keep in mind that these are only first graders, just 6 years olds.

Funny Proverb - Savings

A Year 5 teacher was giving her Primary pupils a lesson in developing logical thinking.

'This is the scene', said the teacher.

'A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.

His wife hears the commotion, knows he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?'

A little girl raised her hand and asked, 'To draw out all his savings?'

Out of the Mouths of Children

A number of primary schools were doing a project on 'The Sea.' Children were asked to draw pictures or write about their experiences. Teachers got together to compare the results and put together some of the 'better' ones:


1. Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea because I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers.
(Christopher age 7)

2. This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.
(Kelly age 6)

3. Oysters' balls are called pearls. (James age 6)

4. If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all around you, you are incontinent. (Wayne age 7)

5. I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kyle age 6)

6. A dolphin breathes through an (blip)-hole on the top of its head. (Billy age 8 )

7. When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William age 7)

8. I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen age 6)


Children's Comments on Love



When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toe nails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love. Rebecca age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. Billy age 4

Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK. Danny age 7

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. Bobby age 7

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. Nikka age 6

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day. Noelle age 7

Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well. Tommy age 6

Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken. Elaine age 5

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. Lauren age 4

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


Did ya miss me? grin


Yeah I know, I didn't either. razz


I have a bird and two dogs in my lap that did though. It's kinda cramped here. puppy


The little one got hurt tonight. She's been bouncing off the walls as usual. Very hyper. Well she jumped off the chair and landed awkwardly on her leg, and she just screamed in pain like her leg was broken. She kept screaming and I thought for a minute I was going to have to head to the vet. She finally quit crying, and she's been quiet all evening. slapforehead


My lap is really hot though, and not in a, you know, a romantic sort of way. blush


My next child will NOT be a lap dog. shame


Have a happy day everyone. thumbsup

Have a great Thursday, everyone. winter

Good morning everyone. Joe, I hope the puppy is all right. Ana, I hope Merlin is feeling better. I'm waiting on the results of another culture the vet took on Outlaw's ears. He's stumped, none of the antibiotics or other meds are working. To all here and all who follow, have a Super Thursday Danish, BB Pancakes, and Bacon Sandwiches in the NC. lab

Good morning everybody. wave

Today I'm headed down to Dallas/Ft Worth for a appointment for hearing test. I have tinnitus in both ears. razz

My appointment is at 1:30. I hope like heck I'm out of there by 2:30. The traffic down there is crazy, and I'm allowing myself 3 hours for an hour and a half drive. taz

I hope you all have a super day. thumbsup

Connie, have you tried changing Outlaw's diet?

Re: Thump Day - 01/28/16 05:32 PM

Awwww Joe, sorry about your puppy and his ouchie. I once 'made' my cat jump down from a huge tree and his leg collapsed. It was sprained. He limed around a long long time and I felt so guilty. He got overdoses of love. Maybe that's the payoff.

In other great news: I sent my friend out to do some 'stealth' work last night. That stupid cab-over camper had been here since last Friday night and I'd called the Vehicle Abatement team on day 4 (gave it the full 72 hours to move on its own. Of course the Vehicle team comes like a week AFTER you call and then another week until they tow it, but they do leave a nice note on the windshield. Soooo yesterday was day 5 and I got tired of waiting and being nice. I typed up a simple note with that day's date and the date when it was parked and quoted the Municipal Code section and told them politely it was time to move the vehicle. I then printed it on YELLOW paper (just like the police/vehicle team uses). Had my friend put that on the windshield (I even folded it to the right size) and guess what? When I got up this morning...happy me (happy camper?) It's GONE. Don't see it on my street so it's somewhere else, bothering some other homeowner. I'm thrilled. I knew the owner would be nearby monitoring it somehow. Could be he looks at it each night/day. When he saw that yellow paper, it probably made him think twice about leaving the camper where it was. Sometimes, ya just gotta outsmart the people who take advantage. dance joy

Hey everybody. yay

I'm glad I left early to go down to Texas. I got there an hour and a half early, got in to see the Doc earlier, and was out by 1:00, back home by 2:30. joy

I just took my pups out for a walk. The little one is ok now and back to her normal hyper little Tasmanian Devil self. taz

Now I have an early day tomorrow from 5:00 to 1:00, and then I'm off for the weekend. hamster

It is one beau-ti-ful day here. penguin
