About 1 week ago our 3.5 yr old daughter was starting to get a bit too whiny for our liking. It was a weekday, so I told her that when I was home on the weekend we were going to "cut out the whining".
Well, you should have seen the look of terror on her face. "Please, don't cut it out! I don't want to be cut!".
It is really funny to think about all the little sayings and nuances we have and how they would be interpreted by a newcomer to the language.
