My husband is walking on eggs shells around me.

Does it make sense?

Please let me know.

Hello - Lee Chang-Seung "Walking on egg shells"....an idiom Close your eyes and try to imagine..... Most idioms are "word pictures"..... So...close your eyes and imagine what "walking on egg shells" looks/feels like.. How would you walk if you had to "walk" on egg shells??? Carefully? Would you be VERY cautious/gentle ?? I would!! :)Philo
