An idiom used when people (mostly kids) mess around and sometimes abuse their leeway when someone in authority is not around. Used to describe disobedient people, like kids.
Person 1: Have you seen the kids in the classroom? Person 2: Yeah, the teacher ain't around and they're abusing their leeway. Person 1: Well that's a problem. When the cat is away the mice will play anyway.
