Idioms:

2. Take a rain check

Postpone a plan.
 Example: He asked me whether I would like to have dinner with his family, but I had a thing so I said, rain check.
3. Take it with a grain of salt

Don’t take it too seriously.
 Example: She tells great tales but we take whatever she says with a grain of salt
