Fun on Friday

parkFor your weekend enjoyment, we have a few more water cliches, a famous water quote, and a riddle (the answer can be found at the end of this post). Have fun!

When someone refers to a “watering hole,” it either means a place where there is water for animals (or people) to drink, or they mean a bar or tavern.

 

If someone says they’re “in deep water”,  they are in a difficult situation which is hard to deal with. In other words, they are in trouble. Deep water can be very dangerous, especially if someone can’t swim.

Riddle answer: A sponge.

 

Have a great weekend!
