So what are some of the old sayings you remember?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. (But if no one flushed the bushes we’d never be able to invite company over!)
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you! (Might work on a nine year old, but talk to anyone at the half century mark and see if that applies!)
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. (OK, most of the time except with toast — then its just burned!)
A penny saved is a penny earned. (I’m not so sure. The effort to earn a penny in a business transaction has become a negative investment balance nowadays!)
Try your hand at some old sayings. Do they still ring true?
