Finish the Saying

I received a forwarded email this week of First Graders answers to common sayings that they were only given the first half of. I thought it was so cute I wanted to see what my own Cutie Pies would come up with. We learn a "Saying" every week in school, so they were familiar with some of them, and Noble knew more than Liam, but they both still came up with some fun replies. I also think there is real insight into their thoughts with some of the answers. What do you think?
