Hi Starfish!
As you know, we've been studying "idioms". Idioms are popular phrases that aren't meant to be taken literally. For example, if I tell 5th period they are driving me up the wall, I don't mean that they are actually in a car that's driving up the wall! I mean, of course, that their behavior is getting on my nerves and making me crazy.
Here are some funny idioms we discovered this week:
The proof is in the pudding.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
Cry me a river (apparently Ms. L says this a lot)
You're treading on thin ice.
Watch you like a hawk.
Every dog has his day.
I need this like I need a hole in the head.
What idioms do you use? What about your parents or grandparents -do they use a particular idiom over and over? Did you discover any new idioms you want to use from now on? I hope this lesson won't go in one ear and out the other!!!

Mrs. L one of the main things that my parents say to me sometimes is, well wait I take that back it's really my Uncle Bob who say's it.The idiom that he said is ......"do u always keep your cap loose". By that he mean' that my friends or I talk way to much.also it just means that we're loud.
