“Break a leg” is an idiom in theatre, which means “good luck”. It is typically said to actors and musicians before they go out onto stage to perform. The expression reflects a theatrical superstition in which wishing a person “good luck” is considered bad luck.
Well, try explaining that to a 3-year-old!!!
I went and auditioned for a show this week and when I left home to go to the audition my husband wished good luck by saying: “Break a leg.” Well, apparently, as soon as I left the house 3-year-old Isabella gave daddy a hard time.
“Daddy, you gotta tell Mommy sorry." daddy asked why. She said: "Cause you told her to break a leg. That's not nice!"
Daddy explained to Isabella and her brother and sister what "break a leg" means, but Isabella was not satisfied with the explanation.
Can you imagine what was going through her head.
