Similes

Okay, so I know we're not all writers. I know writing similes can be tough. But really? These are some examples of what was turned in...

As ugly as chicken pox
As dumb as a moth
As poor as a school teacher (thanks for that one...sheesh)
As cute as an Easter egg
As bald as a dolphin (are dolphins technically bald?)
As neat as a sock (really?)
As cute as me (a boy wrote that one--talking about himself of course)
As ugly as miror (exact wording and spelling...third person to use mirror on this one)
As fit as a violet (what???)
As strong as a nun (nice...)
As neat as a lint (???)
As smart as a bee (um...I guess that could work?!)
As cute as a blanket

I can't decide if I should give them back and make them try again...
