Eavesdropping

Henry leaves for church anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before we do. Every once in a while he forgets something like his phone, computer or the like. This is no problem if he realizes what he's forgotten before we leave, because he just calls and we bring the item with us.

This past Sunday he forgot his watch. When the phone rang, Megan answered it ...

Megan: Hello? Oh hi, Dad. Uh huh. Okay. Is there anything else you need me to bring? Okay. Love you. Bye.

A few minutes later ...

Megan: Dad forgot his watch.

Me: Oh, is that why he called?

Megan: Yeah.

Me: It was very nice of you to ask him if he needed you to bring anything else for him.

Megan: Hey, were you eardropping?

Me: You mean eavesdropping?

Megan: Whatever. Were you listening to my phone conversation?

Me: Yeah, sorry.
