Author PoetryNMotion says: Idioms... keep your head above water pulling my leg drop them a line feeling blue spilled the beans Proverbs... Haste makes waste. A stitch in time saves nine. Musn't cry over spilled milk. A dog is man's best friend. I always love the reaction of small children when a proverb or idiom is used. Since children think in concrete/literal ways, what must they think when you tell them someone 'spilled the beans' or 'you're pulling my leg.' LOL Mar 3, 2014
