Her niece is a ray of sunshine.
Her niece is shiny
Her niece brings happiness
He is down to earth.
He is visiting from Mars
He is easy to talk to
She was feeling under the weather last week.
She was laying under a cloud
She was sick
He is barking up the wrong tree.
He is making noise
He is trying to get something that won't happen
Don't beat around the bush
Don't hit the bushes
Get to the point
He was green with envy
He was nauseous
He was very jealous
Sometimes you have to ride out the storm
You have to wait for hard times to be over
You have to ride in a boat when theres a flood
Money doesn't grow on trees
Money isn't a plant
It takes a lot of work to earn money
He felt like he was pushing a rock up a hill
The rock kept falling on him
He was doing a lot of work but not making progress
When he came home late, he was in hot water
He took a hot shower
He was in a lot of trouble
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Apples fall because of gravity
When a child looks/acts like their parent
The grass is always greener on the other side
Other people's situations seem better than yours
Your neighbor has a better lawnmower
Calm before the storm
Peaceful period before difficulty
Sunny day before it rains
Tip of the iceberg
The top part of a chunk of ice
The only noticeable part of a bigger problem
Go with the flow
Swim down the river
Do whatever everyone else agrees with
There is nothing like it on Earth
So incredible that there is nothing else to compare it to in
It doesn't exist anywhere
