Children's proverbs

I received this in an email, you may have seen it before, but I found it very humorous. Children are so dang funny. Some of these seem a little too smart for first graders but still very clever.

A 1st grade 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!

Now, I want to add my own little humor.
Madi asked me in the car. "Mom where do babies come from? And, don't just say heaven, how do they get from heaven to inside the mommy's tummy?" I explained that it was complicated and she'd learn when she was older. She said, "well I can handle it now, I'm eight and I won't throw up or anything, I promise."

Guilty

I couldn't remember the last time I called in sick to work and I'm really exhausted so I called in for tomorrow. Now this is something I've never done before, calling in the night before. First, let me say the lady working the night before is waaay nicer than the beeotch that answers the phone a 5 am. She's always so completely rude and not sympathetic at all that you're sick, or "sick" wink, wink. I later remembered that the last time I called in fake sick to work I blogged about it so I came over here to see exactly how long it'd been. Not that long, so now I feel kinda guilty, but not too guilty. Tomorrow was an extra shift. The third extra shift in as many weeks. I have a couple more things to blog about but am gonna save it for later when the girls aren't about to kill each other.
