What an anxious/impatient youngster would logically want to know in instances when his parent promises a certain action/food/relief/entertainment "in two shakes of a lamb's tail".
Cranky child: "Are we there yet?!"
Parent driving (cheerfully): "Oh, no worries --- we'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!"
Cranky child: "But how often does the lamb shake its tail?! Oh, sure --- a NORMAL AND ALERT lamb probably "flutters its little stumpy thing" quite regularly, but if the lamb is asleep or not feeling chipper, its behind-flipper might not move much at all, and so it might take HOURS for it to jiggle even ONCE, let alone TWICE!"

Get the Italian Hand Shake mug.A question you know that is best opposed to herself and a question you might automatically say out of the blue when you are talking to her; if at some point you meet a distressed traumatized female with "Carol Anne" for a first name and "Star" as a last name; who has either had an abusive or a stressful past life and is always mean, angry, defensive, panicky, and holds a bizzare negative opinion in regards to nearly everything that brings us human beings together! Things like sex, dating, pregnancy, children, babies, love, marriage, kissing, and cuddling...
It's not easy for anybody! We all got our own issues to handle and we all go through bad things but having the last name star, one would assume you'd be hella tougher coping than the rest of us. You're a star and stars are bright! How can a star twinkle its way into the dark and can't shine a way out? Use your light and step away from the darkness Carolanne Star! Otherwise you'll end up just like starlight.sl1996
