Proverbs and first graders

A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class and she presented each child in her class the first 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 may surprise you. While reading these keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is classic!

1. Don't change horses.........until they stop running
2. Strike while the ................bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before ...............Daylight Saving Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of ...termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water but ...how?
6. Don't bite the hand that ..........looks dirty.
7. No news .............impossible.
8. A miss is as good as a .............Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new .......math.
10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll ....stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust .............me.
12. The pen is mightier than the ..........pigs.
13. An idle mind is ..............the best way to relax.
14. Where there's smoke there's ..........pollution.
15. Happy the bride who ............gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is ..................not much
17. Two's company, three's ............the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what ....you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and ........you have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as .............Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and not .....spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed ............get new batteries.
23.You get out of something only what you ..............see in the picture on the box.

i'm assuming #25 can be interpreted as a menstruation joke, i don't get it offhand though. my favorite is 20 or 23.
