Little Pitchers Have Big Ears!
My sister was telling me about an incident that involved her son years ago.
She , her husband and Steve,their son, were eating their supper one night and her husband casually mentioned that he had just gotten a $10.00 weekly raise in his salary that day. He also told her that she should not tell their neighbor, who lived next door and who also worked at the same place where he did. He explained that since the neighbor was under his supervision he might not like it that he did not get a raise also. That was all that was said that night.
The next day my sister and Steve were at the neighbor's house for a visit. She said they were sitting there just casually talking when suddenly Steve blurted out,"My Dad got a $10 raise at work!"
My sister said she almost swallowed her tongue when he said that. She just sort of ignored his statement and hoped nothing else would be said--and nothing was.
She said she was shocked because Steve had not noticeably been paying any attention at all to what was being said at the table the night before and she was shocked that he even remembered the conversation.
It all just proves the old adage that Little Pitchers Have Big Ears!
