LOVE TO PIECES

0Dear Teachers,02br

001. You should tell your son how bad you feel about not being about to afford him gifts but despite the fact you still love him to pieces. 02br
02br
00- "love him to pieces" means "love him very much", right? Is this common?02br
02br
002. Being 14, kids are a little more observant than we give them credit for. 02br
02br
00- "give them credit for" means "compliment them", right?02br
02br
00Thanks a lot to Teachers,02br
