29. I find people confusing.
This is for two main reasons.
The first main reason is that people do a lot of talking without using anywords. Sioahn says that if you raise one eyebrow it can mean lots of different things. It can mean “I want to do sex with you” and it can also mean “I think that what you just said was very stupid.”
Siobahn also says that if you close your mouth and breath loudly through your nose, it can mean that you are relaxed, or that you are bored, or that you are angry, and it all depends on how much air comes out of your nose and how fast and what shape your mouth is when you do it and how you are sitting and what you said just before and hundreds of other things which are too complicated to work out in a few seconds.

The Second main reason is that people often talk in metaphors:

I laughed my socks off.
He was the apple of her eye.
They had a skeleton in the cupboard.
We had a real pig of a day.
He dog was stone dead.

The word metaphor mean carrying something from one place to another, and it comes from Greek words which mean from one place to another and to carry, and it describes something by using a word for something that isn’t.

I think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people do not have skeletons in the cupboard. And when I try and make a picture of the phrase in my head it just confuses me because imagining an apple in someone’s eye doesn’t have anything to do with liking someone a lot and it makes you forget what person was talking about.
