Idiom of the week....

The other day while driving in the car together, Lydia and I were discussing different idioms. I told her that I teach my class a new "idiom of the week" each week....and she began asking me for different examples of idioms.

A couple I taught her were:

1. "At the drop of a hat"
2. "Don't cry over spilled milk"
and
3. "I have a bone to pick with you"

She was very intrigued by idioms and wants to learn more of them....I told her that a few at a time would be best.

Today after school she told me that she used "at the drop of a hat" in her writing today at school while she was in the writing center.

Then, later on in the evening she told David "I'm gonna pick your bone" because of something that he did to upset her the other day. David, had no clue what she was talking about...but, I did!~ :-)

She was close enough to the real thing ("I have a bone to pick with you")....good enough for me!

She is one smart cookie! :-)
