One of you sent this to me early this morning; it’s just too good not to share. Yes, I’ve seen a couple of these as well. There are more I’ve never seen. So, while I’m composing today’s QTMs – that’s 2nd Cup shorthand for Quiet Time Musings – try to keep a straight face as you read.

An Elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st 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, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
