Welcome to English in a Minute,If you have heard American English,you probably have heard this:You better treat him with kid gloves.Is someone telling you to put on a pair of gloves?Let's listen again.
A:I heard Sam is really upset.
B:Really?
A:Yes,and he may be upset for a while.You better treat him with kid gloves.
It sounds as if Sam needs to be treated carefully and gently.That's what "treat him with kid gloves"means.Gloves made from kid leather--leather from a lamb or young goat--are soft.So if someone is angry,or upset,you might need to "treat him with kid gloves"--very carefully.
You better treat him with kid gloves.
And that's English in a Minute.
