Iris has taken up recreational eavesdropping in a big way. The other day the Sober Husband and I had a long conversation in the shower, which had always been the best place to talk openly, as the children are rather bath-averse, but when I opened the door, Iris said accusatorily, "I heard everything you said."
"What? I didn't even say anything bad! Did you hear the part where I said we should raise your allowance?"
"I heard it all," she said with a baleful glare.
Last night the husband and I were again talking when I suddenly raised my voice and said, "Iris, I hear you eavesdropping."
"How can you hear her eavesdropping?" the husband asked.
"She said, 'hush' to Lola."
Iris said stoutly, "I'd be stupid not to eavesdrop. I learn a lot of things." I asked her what the best thing was that she'd ever heard while eavesdropping, and she pondered. "Most interesting or best? Because most things I hear are not good."

You totally need a white-noise machine.
Teach her to EATSdrop and send the messages to Hedonia, lol.
I hope she puts the good stuff up on her blog.
They say those that drop eaves never hear anything good about themselves. =)
My children cannot hear "Come set the table" but if we start talking about having to move because of the economy...they storm downstairs in a nanosecond.
