2.in hot water: not literally expression means during trouble or you are in trouble
Ex:i was in hot water with my mom but she got over it when i planned her surprise party
3.hanging by a thread ：
Ex: this is my second time loosing a book from her, so I'm hanging by a thread, i don't think she would let me borrow anything if i mess up again
using this kinda of expression to creating more lightness not so serious

B: i don't think she's that made, but it does feeling like we are hanging by a thread
A:definitely on thin ice!
