@Fleura Thanks... She'd spend too much time playing games online during the night and wanted to sleep all day... I didn't feel like staying home all the time but didn't want to leave her home alone, either.

I had never heard this expression before but I have, in fact, been the cow's tail. Many times to be honest.

@JudyEv It is. I woke up early today and when my wife got up, I called her a cow's tail. Unfortunately, all she heard was cow. It was a tense couple of minutes, but I was able to clarify.

I've never heard that expression! But maybe because I'm never the cow's tail

. . . I'm always the first to get up in our house no matter what day it is.

@JudyEv My parents never used expressions . . . my dad especially would flat out tell me to get up early or else

I've always been curious about the saying ''bee's knees'' because...bees have knees? But it's a cute saying, anyway. And who knows, maybe bees think they do have knees!
