Learn the English Phrases "the wrong side of the bed" and "to make the bed"

In this English lesson, I wanted

to help you learn the English

phrase to get up on the wrong

side of the bed or to wake up on

the wrong side of the bed or to

get out of the wrong side of the

bed.

There's a lot of different variations

to this phrase, but basically it

means that you're in a bad mood.

If I was crabby and cranky, Jen

might say, hey, did you get up

on the wrong side of the bed?

I wanted to make sure I said

this version of the phrase,

did you get up on the wrong side

of the bed this morning?

And that would simply mean, wow,

did you not sleep good,

did you have a bad sleep,

and now you're in a bad mood.

The other phrase I wanted to teach

you today is simply to make the bed.

This is what you do after you get up.

You put the pillows nice

at the top of your bed and you put

the blankets nice and flat.

We have what's called a sheet,

and then we have a comforter.

And we just kind of make the bed

every morning after we get up.

So we put all the blankets nice

and flat and tidy.

So to review, to get up on the

wrong side of the bed or to wake

up on the wrong side of the bed,

or to get up out of the wrong

side of the bed, however you say

it, it means you're in a bad

mood.

And to make the bed simply means.

Yeah, to put all of the blankets

and sheets flat so they look nice.

So let's look at a comment

from a previous video.

If you're wondering why I'm out

of sorts, it's so bright out here,

I have to find my sunglasses.

You know, you'll notice I can

hardly keep my one eye open.

I'm not sure if the camera

communicates that, but hey,

let's look at a comment

from a previous video.

This comment is from Ismail.

Hi, Bob.

That sign that says more points, more

ways on the gas pump, I think it's

about a rewards program like

getting points when you buy gas.

But I wasn't sure how it

works exactly in that place.

Just curious, what's it all about?

And my response, yes, you

get points when you buy gas.

This is from the video from a couple

days ago at the gas station.

You can then use the points to get

4 cents a liter off your purchase.

I think you need about 4,000

points to do that.

So thanks, Ismail, for that question.

Yeah, at our gas station and at a lot

of places, you get points if you buy

certain things and then you

can use Those points like money.

I don't know how many points

you get for a tank of gas, but

I do know that every once in a

while I have enough points

that I can get 4 cents a liter

off.

So what am I doing here?

I wanted to show you dandelions.

So we are in prime dandelion season.

Dandelions are, of course, these

little yellow flowers that show

up in lawns probably in a lot

of different places in the world.

I'm kind of curious whether you have

dandelions where you live or not.

For the next week or so, there will

be a lot of dandelions around.

Like, this is a local soccer field.

They do a lot of work here to make

sure the grass is nice and green.

But the dandelions, they still come.

They are pretty good

at growing almost everywhere

in Ontario, Canada.

I don't want to go over there,

but in the distance, there's

actually some sort of school event.

It's not my school.

I wonder if it's

a track and field meet.

A track and field meet is where you

run the 100 meter, the 800 meter.

You do long jump and triple jump

and all those other kinds of events.

Because there's children involved.

I don't want to walk over there.

They want their privacy and just

not a good idea.

If I'm in a public place, like

when I'm at the public or

the plaza, the strip mall.

I don't mind if people end

up on camera, but I'm not

going to go disturb them.

But it looks like there are a lot

of parents there and a lot of kids

running around enjoying this

beautiful day and the dandelions.

Hey, thanks for watching

this short English lesson.

I'll see you in a few days

with another one.

Bye.
