Goes down smooth as cherry cream pie.
Like taking candy from a baby.
Like water sliding off a duck's back.

Shooting a Shirley Temple.
Taking a spoonful of sugar (although you'd probably use that to mix a Mary Poppins instead :-).

Is "sucking an egg" considered an easy task, or is that something only used in conjunction with the phrase "You'd teach your grandmother to suck eggs"?
