Have It Coming for Dummies

Hey there, kiddo! Today, I want to talk to you about a phrase that you might have heard before: "have it coming." Now, this phrase might sound a bit confusing or strange at first, but don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it.

Have it coming is an interesting phrase that we use when someone is getting or receiving something that they deserve. You know when you work really hard on your homework, and then I give you a sticker for it? Well, in that situation, you definitely have that sticker coming because you put in the effort and earned it.

In a more serious sense, "have it coming" means that a person will experience the consequences of their actions or behavior. Let's imagine this scenario: one of your friends always teases others and makes mean jokes. Now, if one day everyone decides to stop talking to or playing with this friend because they are tired of the teasing, we could say that your friend has it coming. They have been behaving in a hurtful way, and now they are facing the outcome of their actions.

Another way to think about this phrase is this: have you ever seen a movie or read a book where a character does something wrong and, later on, something bad happens to them as a result? That's similar to having it coming. When we make poor choices or treat others poorly, there can be consequences that come our way.

So, remember, "have it coming" means that someone is facing the consequences of their behavior or actions. It's like when you eat too much candy and end up with a tummy ache; you had it coming because you chose to eat too much candy. It's all about cause and effect, and understanding that our actions can have consequences.

I hope that explanation helps you understand what "have it coming" means. Just remember, it's all about getting what you deserve based on your behavior or actions. So, let's always try to make good choices and treat others with kindness!
