Let sleeping dogs lie / let bygones be bygones

The opposite of telling someone to “touch grass” is telling them to “touch glass”

Alternatively if you can’t stand the heat don’t do the crime

Making a mountain out of a molehill, a storm in a teacup

Not the brightest(idiom), + cat's out of the bag + not the sharpest tool in the shed([bag], in this case). Was just talking to my dear, sweet cat and she jumped ahead of me almost crashing into the wall. "Not the brightest cat in the bag".

All your eggs in one basket

Killing two birds with one stone + Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime

Get off your moral high horse and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
