Penny for Your Thought
Sentence
You seem so serious today. A penny for your thoughts.
Explanation
tell me what's on your mind
Origin
Early on, when people started using this idiom, a penny was worth much more
than it is today. So if you offered a penny to a person who was daydreaming,
you'd be offering a lot to know what was going on in his mind.
