Hi, all.
I'm reading a novel, get to this phrase and curious about the exact meaning. Is it an idiom or can I just interpret this phrase as 'trying to do something impossible"?
[FONT="]While I’m standing there, debating on whether or not to fall flat on my face right here, right now, or[/FONT][FONT="]attempt the impossible, [/FONT][FONT="]the back door opens and out steps Grandpa, a coffee cup in his hand. Cool. Grandpa’s not dead.[/FONT]
Thanks for your help!
