How to use "Flies the coop" in context?
When I was growing up, my parents always had a fly the coop game going. It was always a blast to watch them work together to get the fly away from the chicken and into the sack. The game was a lot like dodgeball, but with a fly instead of a ball. The goal was to catch the fly as it flew from the chicken's beak, and then to put it into the sack. My parents would always have a lot of fun playing the game, and it definitely was a memory that I enjoyed as a child.
