	meantolearn  +  312355 Mon, 08 Jan 07 12:35 AM Hi, everyone. Plot: A school girl, Jenny, was trying to persuade people (a babysitter) to buy candy from her. Maybe she was in a campain or something. (from movie: House Monster) She said, "Without candy, I'm afraid your house  is a bull's-eye with shingles." What do the quotes above mean? Is it a common expression? Thanks, meantolearn

If so, she was saying that if you choose to not provide candy on Halloween, you have made your house a target for mischief by the local kids. A target in archery or darts or other sports is called a bull's eye (circles within circles). The roof in many houses is constructed of shingles. Grammar Geek
