ready to start learning 30 phrasal verbs with  just this little picture frame? Let's do it.

This is a lot of picture frames. I need to sort  through my picture frames to decide which one  

would be best for this project. Oh, I'm going  to use this one. I'm going to look through my  

pictures to decide which one would be best with  this frame. I'm going to use this one. Before  

I put the picture in, I need to brush off the  frame. It's been collecting dust in my closet.  

Then I need to clean off the fingerprints. Does  this happen to you? There's always fingerprints  

on my picture frames. Next, I'm going to open  up the back of the frame. Oops, the little tab  

just broke off. I guess it was a cheap picture  frame. I take off the back of the picture frame  

and I will now put in my lovely picture and make  sure that I put it facing the right way. Ta-da.

I'll put the back back on the picture frame and  I'll close up the little tabs. Unfortunately,  

there's only one tab left. All of the others  broke off. Such a cheap picture frame,  

but it'll do. I could set this  picture frame down on the table  

or maybe just place it on the counter,  but I think that I want to hang it up.

I was just about to hang this up on  the wall when the back kept coming out,  

so I decided that I needed to tape the  back on. Such a cheap picture frame. But  

you know? That's how it goes sometimes,  and you'll never see it from the front.

To put this picture frame up on the wall,  I'm going to need to hammer in a nail. Okay,  

so here's one extra thing in the video.  Don't blame me. Don't yell at me. Yes,  

it's more than just one picture frame. I'm  going to hammer in the nail. I could put it  

on the wall high up and try to keep  it away from my children's fingers,  

but I'm not too worried about it. I'm going to  hammer it in a little bit low down, around here.  

Looks good. Now I just need to carefully set my  picture frame on the nail. Looks pretty straight.

I'm sure that when my kids come home from  school, they're going to point out, "Hey,  

look, Mom, there's a new picture on the  wall," and I'll be sure to tell them,  

"Don't lift it up. Don't even pick  it up. It's pretty fragile." Someday,  

if I don't want this picture here, I'll just  take it off the wall, and you know what,  

unfortunately this is not a picture frame  that I'm going to be passing down through the  

generations. It's pretty cheap. You know what?  I probably wouldn't even give it away. I don't  

think many people want a picture frame that has  to have tape on the back to keep the picture in.

Oops, now I have to sweep up the pieces.  I'm going to have to dump it out in the  

trash and tell my kids to watch out for  little pieces of glass that might have  

gone across the room. All I can do now is  throw it away. I guess I'll have to look  

through my pictures again and pick one out  that's good for the next frame. Maybe one  

of these frames will be a little bit more  durable and not fall apart like this one.

Well, thanks so much for learning these 30  phrasal verbs with this poor picture frame. Yes,  

I went to the store and I bought this  picture frame for only $1 just for this  

video. Let's have a moment of silence for the  poor life that was lost. Poor picture frame.

I need you to break. Oops. Wow.  Well, that was pretty good.
