The background is that a girl intendde to go away with hei boyfriend because she tired of the stupid city life style.But her mother was shocked and did all that she could do.But the daugther didn't change her mind,didn't wait her father come back home, and said"Of course were putting you and dad on your honor." Daer everyone,what's that mean?Thanks.
Please help me. Dear everyone,what this sentence mean?
To put someone on their honor is to trust them. It's apt to be used by a teacher to a class that he's leaving for a short time. It doesn't seem to make much sense here.
It's the girl and boy, who should really be "on their honor".
