(I know this isn't really a parenting question but yahoo's suggested category was Horse Racing)

The other morning I asked my younger cousin (she's 7) how she slept in her new bed. She said "I slept like a clam!" I corrected her and said "I think the expression is you're as HAPPY as a clam." My brother insisted that the saying is "I slept like a clam." Who's right? Isn't the expression "I slept like a baby?"

He bet me 5 bucks. Sucker!

You are right. Happy as a clam and slept like a baby are right.

Clams are not known to be sound sleepers.

Happy as a clam, slept like a baby.

You win.

Never heard of sleeping like a clam, only slept like a baby, or slept like a log.

Who is right here, I have a bet going with my brother?
