Reasonably enough the idiom is extremely troublesome to the child-mind. The doctor says my mother has one foot in the grave, wrote a little girl the other day in a Composition Exercise. That is not true. She has both feet in bed! Again, if people will talk about going it bald-headed, or about being stony-hearted or iron-fisted or brazen-faced, and so on, they must naturally expect young children to accept the phraseology in its literal sense. Hence amusing misconceptions. Again, as I say, it is often a question of not having quite got the right word.
