When my daughter was 7, as we were crossing a a busy intersection, a man who’s face was deformed was crossing in the other direction. We were barely out of earshot, thank goodness for the noise of the traffic, my child said “I wonder if the wind changed on him!” From an old expression; ‘if the wind changes your face will stay like that.’ I was so embarrassed. I really don’t know where they get these expressions.
