  Growing up, I heard the saying, "Little pitchers have big ears" a hundred times. I think it was my ears they were talking about. One bit of gossip I overheard was about my mother's brother's second wife and her rotten daughter. Uncle John wasn't my favorite uncle, but his third wife was the sweetest person in the world.
