Idioms with two – part 2/ 2

How dare he! I’m not TWO BRICKS SHY OF A LOAD, and it didn’t take me long to PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER! I was seriously considering [HARKITA] leaving him – I’m perfectly able to STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET. I assure [VAKUUTTAA] you, I TOLD HIM A THING OR TWO! TWO’S COMPANY, THREE’S A CROWD, and he should have known that!

My boyfriend and I have always been TWO OF A KIND. On this matter, however, we completely disagreed. When I discovered the puppy he had secretly brought home, I was flabbergasted [VOIMAKKAASTI HÄMMÄSTYNYT] and at a loss for words [SANATON]. I’m not a dog person – he knows that! All the same, TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME! I’m going to PUT IN MY TWO CENT’S WORTH, literally! I know TWO WRONGS  DON’T MAKE A RIGHT, nevertheless [SIITÄ HUOLIMATTA], revenge [KOSTO] is sweet. Instead of leaving him, I went out today and got a kitten. Ha!

He’s not a cat person, and when he finally realized how I must have felt when he came home with that puppy, he apologized and promised never to do anything of the sort again. THAT MAKES TWO OF US. We now have to take care of two wild but extremely cute and cuddly creatures.
