YOU’RE SURE TO SMILE!

In a recent posting, I shared some amusing and philosophical tidbits with which to start a day or end a team meeting with a positive thought. In today’s blog, I want to give you a giggle, a bit of delight in the word antics of a group of second graders. These humorous phrases won’t do a thing to improve your production or increase your efficiency, but I believe that, shared with staff, these amusing bits will put your team in a happy mood—and happy team members make an office hum.

A second grade teacher read the first half of a well-known proverb to her class, calling on the individual children to finish the thought. The children's responses show amazing insight and provide a laugh as well.
  • Better safe than...punch a fifth grader.
  • Don’t bite the hand that...looks dirty.
  • Strike while the...bug is close.
  • Never underestimate the power of...termites.
  • No news is...impossible.
  • A miss is as good as a...Mr.
  • You can’t teach an old dog new...math.
  • A penny saved is...not much.
  • Where there’s smoke there’s...pollution.
  • Two's company, three's...the Musketeers.
  • Happy is the bride who...gets all the presents.
  • If you lie down with dogs, you’ll...stink in the morning.
  • Don’t put off until tomorrow...what you put on to go to bed.
  • Laugh and the whole world laughs with you; cry and...you’ll have to blow your nose.
  • Children should be seen and...not grounded or spanked.
  • If at first you don’t succeed...get new batteries.
  • When the blind leadeth the blind...get out of the way.
  • Better late than...pregnant.
