How does a molehill become a mountain?
The Idiom “Make a mountain out of a mole hole” is well known. But How does a molehill become a mountain?

idioms make a mountain out of a molehill
Dr Jennifer said “Physically speaking, a molehill becomes a mountain when an animal takes dirt from somewhere and piles it on somewhere else. Psychologically speaking, if we think metaphorically, making a mountain out of a molehill essentially is a massive displacement of psychological dirt from one place to another. We unconsciously dig up dirty issues from one significant area of our lives and pile them on to something far more innocuous. I think this happens because it seems easier to pile a little bit of dirt somewhere else than deal with the psychological mountain itself, intimidating as that often is.”

Today’s thought: Idioms Making a mountain out of a molehill
To understand this idiom, we first need to understand what a mole is.
A mole is a small animal. It has velvety (very soft, like velvet) fur. People often think that moles are blind, but this is not true.
Moles are colorblind and do not see very well, but they are not blind.
Moles also have very strong front paws that they use to dig through the ground.
When a mole digs its tunnel and comes to the surface from underground, it throws the dirt on the ground where the tunnel comes out. This pile of dirt is called a molehill.
Moles are not very popular on golf courses 🙂
Even though gardeners don’t like the molehills, the molehills are not very big.
So, when we say “to make a mountain out of a molehill”, we mean that we make a problem bigger than it really is.
In German, this is: “Aus einer Mücke einen Elefanten machen”. (To make an elephant out of a mosquito.)
