From the Mouths of Babes
 Fourth-grade students were given the beginnings of famous sayings and asked to provide original endings for each one. Here's what they came up with: 
The grass is always greener when you leave the sprinkler on.
A bird in the hand is a real mess.
A rolling stone plays the guitar
It's better to light one candle than to waste electricity.
You have nothing to fear but homework.
It's always darkest just before I open my eyes.
I think, therefore I get a headache.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a blister.
No news is no newspaper.
Don't count your chickens - it takes too long.
It's always darkest before 9:30 p.m.
The squeaking wheel gets annoying.
A penny saved is nothing in the real world.
If you can't stand the heat, don't start the fireplace.
Better to light a candle than to light an explosive.
We have nothing to fear but our principal.
The grass is always greener when you put manure on it.
Never put off 'til tomorrow what you should have doneyesterday.
If you can't stand the heat, go swimming.
Early to bed and early to rise is first in the
bathroom.
