My daughter's on again off again boyfriend texted me to see what she was doing. The photo I've published is my answer and his reaction. 
I actually asked him if I could laugh after I explained what I meant. He hasn't responded. I think he's either pissed or too embarrassed. I mean, he's 30, USA born and raised. He's NEVER heard this phrase? Not once? 
And since we don't have a fireplace, why would we even HAVE logs??

I thought she was chopping firewood, but I'm justified.
It got me so confused I ended up thinking a club sandwich had to do with the object above.

@jerzgirl Wow, I've just learned two new terms/expressions in a few minutes! 
Not Yet Ex is an interesting name, might steal that idea in the future.

I have NEVER heard of this phrase haha I had to look it up to see what it meant. I thought she was chopping wood as well. Hey, anyone can cut wood for a project!

@DesirousDreamer I don't know - I grew up with it and grew up with it depicted in cartoons (you know the ones with a picture of the log being sawed over their heads and the falling log wakes them up), so I have been surprised it's not more widely known. I've got a cousin in Scottsdale and another in Glendale. The one's daughter just started college at NAU.

@jerzgirl Haha, I am normally pretty good at knowing sayings, maybe it is more of a regional thing.

Sawing logs could mean sleeping and snoring, yes after eating a club sandwich

@TiarasOceanView Agreed, but she has to be ready to cut the cord.

you shouldn't have told him any different. I wonder what he would have said to her the next time he talked to her 1 person likes this

You have a point, and actually when everyone is always on their ipods the phrase probably never came up.
