Why did my grandmother tell me “quit beating a dead horse”, but insisted that I “keep beating that rug”?

Question by Mooch: Why did my grandmother notify me “give up beating a dead horse”, but insisted that I “keep beating that rug”?
As if either one particular of these two things would care 1 way or yet another if I kept beating them!

Was she wishy-washy or what?

    Mooch,sometimes you are a shameless iconoclast !.
    Grandmothers have a divine right to be wishy – washy and
    even downright batty.
    It adds to a certain mystique and creates fond memories.
    It is utterly endearing to see grandmothers pottering around
    As a kid I didn’t even pretend to understand what they were
    all about, at a young age that generation gap is measured in
    light years.
