What is Like Taking Candy From A Baby?
1.
A well-known idiom in our modernized English language, that suggests that something is very easy to do.
Examples:
1. In Mr. Lee's Calculus class, every student failed miserably all the time, except for the 10-year old
curve setter over there in the corner, who handled the course like taking candy from a baby.
2. (At
Chuck E. Cheese 's)
Chuck E.: "Alright birthday boy Timmy, are you havin' a good time turning 6 here, or what?"
Timmy: "Sure I am! And I wanna have a whole lotta fun here! After all, this is the place where a kid can be a kid!"
Chuck E.: "Yeah sure it is! But you havn't been through the real fun yet!"
Timmy: "Whadda ya mean Chuck?"
Chuck E.: "Since I know you've been such a good boy, I have alotta things in store for ya. I will give you all the toys you want to have and I am gonna take you to alot of fun places where all happy kids belong. My restaurant is but the beginning, I know. I can guarrantee that you'll really feel
like a kid in a candy store !"
Timmy: "Oh wowee Chuck, I wanna go with you!" *jumps up and down*
Michael Jackson:(mumbling to himself from inside his mouse suit)"This will surely be like taking candy from a baby.
Giggidy giggidy !"
