To keep me(him, her)on my (his ,her) toes
I will give you some examples
1. in the office, if the boss is away, we will relax, surf the internet, watch the videos or play games
But as soon as boss shows up .everybody will concentrate ,and work very hard
2. in the class, if the teacher won’t here , students maybe talk loudly, and read other books, as soon as the teacher comes here ,students will keep it down quickly, and do their homework….
So here it means ,the boss keeps me on my toes, and the teacher keep the students on their toes

Dialogue
