A child is often told that he asks for the moon.

Usage example: “Wow, could you wait until the cows get home for that phone to ring.” In the south, cows often return home shortly before dark, but sometimes they get confused and stay in pastures, woods, or fields instead of returning to the barn area to feed. You never know, with cows. They can go home or not.
