Made His Bed

[ngamary]

Dear Teachers,

A. His mother is going nuts over all this.
- This means “His mother is going crazy about all this”, right?

B. It is understandable that you’re concerned want to help him. But he made his bed and he must lie in it.
- “He made his bed and he must lie in it” means “He made his mistakes and he must bear them”, right?

Thanks

Dear danmahaffey!

- Thanks for your compliment. But I'm not that brilliant. Thanks very much for your help again.

Best wishes,
