Ha! I think you mean draw the drapes :-). My older kids loved Amelia Bedilia, I should check some out to read to the younger ones.
The Amelia Bedillia books were very useful to learn English idioms and peculiar turns of phrase ( draw drapes, turn on lights, etc).
There are so many, and there is no internal logic that a non native speaker like me just had to memorize them.
Silly books helped!
