So sayeth my verra wise seven year old niece. Don’t think my sis (her mother) will mind that I pilfered this off her mommy blog, because it was definitely worth sharing with my handful of readers! Her teacher gave her these proverbs to finish and her fabulous answers are in the bold italics. I honestly think an adult could not have made any more sense if they tried!
1. Anything worth doing is always fun.
2. Never underestimate the power of the blue whale.
3. Let’s cross that bridge together.
4. You are only as good as a circus trained elephant.
5. Two’s company, three’s two company including me is three.
6. The pen is mightier than the crayon.*
7. Don’t count your chickens before you eat it.
8. All good things come to you.
9. When life hands you a lemon never eat it.
10. When the going gets tough don’t hold your back.
11. It’s always darkest before it’s lighter.
12. Love all. trust people.
13. Children should be seen not taken.
14. Better late than anything.
15. If you can’t say something nice never talk.
16. Laughter is worth it.
17. If at first you don’t succeed never say a word.
18. Never put off until tomorrow I have to go to play.
19. If you lie down with dogs you’ll don’t do it.
20. You can lead a horse to water, but just for a drink.
