    Mom only disapproves of things that will personally bother her.

    Just some programmed keywords to activate a scripted set of refusals.

    You should bet that they’re listening when they need to. Pretty much the same talent as the eye in the back of the head.

    Calvin, you would be surprised that adults are always listening. The listening may however be selective, depending on what the adults have control over.

    Maybe stop announcing your intentions. Stealth has its advantages.

    These days you’d end up on a terrorist watch registry, or having a ‘chat’ with a social worker.

    I firmly believe my folks heard everything I said, they just ‘listened’ when it might cost them money and responded when it might save someones life. Not necessarily mine, but usually mine.

    If Calvin had said any of that today, he would have been sent off for psychological testing and heavily medicated. Sad truth.
