When you think of the word ‘budge’, imagine trying to move a big, heavy teddy bear that just won’t move. It’s like when you push and push, but the teddy bear stays right where it is. That’s what it means when something won’t budge. It doesn’t want to move, even a little bit!
Picture a stubborn door that you want to open. You twist and turn the handle, but the door just stays put. No matter how hard you try, it won’t budge. It’s like the door is saying, ‘Nope, I’m staying right here!’ That’s another way to understand budge.
Now, think about a time when you’re sitting on the couch, and someone asks you to move over. You shuffle just a tiny bit to make room. That little shuffle is what it means to budge. Sometimes, it’s not about moving a lot, just a little nudge or wiggle can be a budge.
Finally, imagine a sleepy cat that doesn’t want to get up. You call its name, but it just stretches and stays in place. Even though you try to get it to move, the cat won’t budge. It’s content right where it is, just like some things that are hard to move.
