| bending over backwards for you | trying hard to see your point of view |
| in one ear and out the other | doesn't listen to what people say |
| short-handed | need help |
| all thumbs | clumsy |
| turning over a new leaf | change the way I do things to a better way |
| butterflies in my stomach | nervous |

| My lips are sealed. | I won't tell the secret. |
| pulling my leg | teasing |

| Watch your mouth. | Don't say anything disrespectful. |
| Give me a hand. | Help me. |
| stretching the truth | changing the story to fit your needs |
