funny proverbs

A first grade teacher collected old, well known proverbs. She gave each kid in her class the first half of a proverb, and asked them to come up with the rest. See how the kids did. Can you complete the proverbs correctly? ;) (I will post the complete proverbs here at the beginning of November)

Better to be safe than... punch a 5th grader.

It's always darkest before... daylight savings time.

Never underestimate the power of... termites.

Don't bite the hand that... looks dirty.

You can't teach an old dog new... math.

If you lie down with the dogs, you'll... stink in the morning.

Love all, trust... me.

An idle mind is... the best way to relax.

Happy the bride who... gets all the presents!

A penny saved is... not much.
