Face the Music

Face The Music

Welcome to English in a Minute!

You probably enjoy listening to music.

You might even enjoy playing music.

But what does this mean?

Face The Music

Anna? Anna? is that you?

Why are you hiding?

Shhh, I’m hiding from Ashley.

Why?

You know her favorite plant.

I forgot to water it while she was away.

Oh, that’s dead.

It’s time you faced the music and told her.

Yeah, Anna. It’s time to “face the music.”

This expression means to accept the results of your actions, even if the results are unpleasant.

In Anna’s case, it means to accept responsibility for killing my favorite plant.

And that’s English in a Minute!
