What they mean is that is focusing on a smaller thing they kind of created a monster. The context is in a group of parents who were trained on their rights by a school district to the point that the district creater a very powerful group of people who make excessive demands from the district.
A little more context would be helpful and depending on that context, I would use either "To make a mountain out of a mole hill," or "To open Pandora´s box."
Correct. Completly idiomatic. It sounds like a saying that older people would say. It is a mexican expression... Help!!! I am interpreting at a meeting where the speaker keeps using it and I can't come up with the terminology in English!
It looks like:
By giving you the violin we also gave you the bass viol.
I know nothing of music. Could it be:
If you can play the violin that you can also play the bass viol.???
violón
double bass (is this a different instrument than the bass-viol?)
