Zeller Cellar Word Fun #31

We’re in the cellar because we complained about all the heat and humidity. The temperature really got to us. We moaned and groaned so much that the adults asked us to go to the cool cellar and play games. So here we are, playing hopscotch. We used chalk to draw on the cement floor. Later on we’ll play some video games.

While we’re here let’s dip into one of our boxes. You pick this time from the Silly Sayings box. Well, what do you know? This sounds like us! “Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.”

That’s exactly what we did about the weather. This Silly Saying means to make a big deal out of nothing or to make something that’s not important sound like it’s really important. Here’s a good example:

“You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. You wrote one bad paper – it doesn’t mean you’re going to fail.”  (Cambridge English Dictionary)
