It takes a baby to raise a village

A more humorous butchering of the common cliche, “It takes a village to raise a baby”. You can use it to playfully make fun of your friends when they mix metaphors or butcher common idioms (see example below) and chances are they won’t notice it.
Me: Yo Derrick my dog won’t stop pissing on the carpet again
Derrick: You should probably nip that behavior in the butt before he does it again
Me: Well you know what they say Derrick: it takes a baby to raise a village, after all
