You are my sunshine.
You give me sunburns.

My love is deeper than the ocean.
She drowned.

You’re the apple of my eye.
You really hurt.

The conversation died.
Mouth-to-mouth won’t save it.

I came to a fork in the road.
I was looking for a spoon to eat my cereal not a darned fork.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
They never brush their teeth.

The night fell.
She tripped on the moon.

It’s raining cats and dogs.
Hope Fluttershy can take care of those strays.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
He’s allergic.

Pinkie Pie has a chip on her shoulder.
It tastes salty.

We should acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Fluttershy, how is he fitting in your cottage?
No, seriously. How?
