Saying or turn of phrase?

[poshcat]

I'm looking for a saying that has the same meaning as "I might have been born...but I wasn't born yesterday." That doesn't really make a lot of sense, and the saying I'm grasping for is either the same one said better, or a different one altogether that gets across the same idea. Thanks for your help!

Where I'm from we'd say "I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking." Might be a bit regional though!

That is exactly the phrase I thought of, so I'll second that one, haha!

Haha, that is great and hilarious, although what the heck does it mean (literally, not figuratively)?! Cabbage looking. Heeeeeeeee. Thanks for your help!

Literally, just "You might think I look like a green leafy vegetable, but I'm not actually green as in naive, young, gullible." I think. No-one's ever spelled it out to me before so I'm making assumptions!

I've never heard that one, but I'm adding it to my list of favorites.
