Proverbs a la Rohan

Ella and Mac and I were just reading through a few old posts on my blog and we came across this one where I had asked the kids to finish well-known proverbs.  We laughed our heads off reading these and I decided that Rohan needed to do this so we could enjoy his answers as well.
