Okay Hank, I am formally nominating you for Forum Funmaster! I love the 1st graders' quotes--smart kids, who have obviously experienced more of the world than we did at their age. #24 reminds me of Texas politics, for some reason.
#24 includes all politicians!! When you think about it most of those proverbs were difficult to understand when we were their age, these kids just used more common sense with their versions.
You just have to love 'em don't you? Those kids are so much more aware these days than we were at their age. Thanks Hank you made my day!!
#22 particularly resonates with me. It reminds me so much of my 3 year old grandson. Whenever anything he's using doesn't work, whether it's a colored pencil with the lead broken, a toy that won't move, or even the cheese that he can't get out of the wrapping, his solution? " Is bwoken. It needs new battewies."
NOW HOW ABOUT THIS! ! ! ! I just discovered that Eileen beat me to this post by TEN (10) years! Take a look at the 'Similar Threads' below and click on the one entitled 'First Graders'; exactly the same list as this one that I've happened upon and posted ten years later.. Another instance pointing up the need for a 'TOTAL RECALL' memory.. So, any accolades go to Eileen and I'll assume any derogatory comments . . . Love to all, Hank
Hank, think of all the new members who have joined us in the past 10 years. They would have totally missed the great endings to familiar proverbs if you hadn't re-posted. I bet Eileen doesn't mind a bit, and will share accolades with you. A good chuckle or a hearty laugh can be shared over and over!
I can't even remember posting it Hank so you can have all the credit. When I read your post I didn't recall that I posted it ten years ago. Heck I have trouble remembering what I did even ten hours ago.
