Just tonight I was watching this cartoon show with my 2year old son I get to learn new expression.. I have heard it before,sing it in the song line but did not fully get the meaning of it until tonight... "To rain in your parade"...means to put an end of your truimpth or to destroy the good mood. I get it now..mind to know if anyone here we're feeling the same way as I do? Did I try got it right the meaning now or not?

@jndlponti Some of the expressions we use don't always make sense!

You should be proud of yourself! Idioms are difficult to learn.

Before when I was younger I'd like to learn those..but just lose my interest..just these few days ago that I'd come to this thinking of learning new ones again.
