Rewrite 1: you could have knocked me over with a leaf Rewrite 2: so beat, a feather could have knocked me out Rewrite 3: such a wuss I was afraid a dandelion seed would push me over Rewrite 4: so weak, I couldn’t stand straight on a windless day Comment: This is really a metaphor about weakness, whether it’s physical or mental.
