apple-to-orange comparison

The comparison between two (or more) things that cannot be compared apple-to-apple, e.g. comparing the demand of being a kindergartener with that of being a college student — even though they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day

Trying to compare the stress levels of a kindergartener to a college student is just an apple-to-orange comparison—sure, they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day, but the responsibilities are worlds apart!

Maybe to somebody but definitely not in comparison to you

A good response (situationally) to things. It's good it sounds good.

Hym "Maybe to somebody but definitely not in comparison to you. Do you believe in talking donkeys? Yes? Yeah, see that's why you shouldn't be directing statements like that at me."
