The Ear Flap ....

 You have to love a topic that gives you the excuse to flap your ears

and Aimee over at Artsyville gave me the excuse to have a good old snoop

when she set the topic Overheard for List It Tuesday

 I wish I had one of these spy bug gizmos that I saw online

because then I could have been bugging with bugs

and ovehearing from overhead

and all those other lame plays on words

but instead of going all high tech I had to go old school

so I got my sneak on, let my ears flap like mad and here is what I heard ...

I heard my daughter Jet Puff Phantom

 muttering about a pox on both their houses while making herself a cuppa

I was so not touching that one but I have been checking the house for pox ever since

just in case I was one of the "both"

On the subject of Phantom I also heard her and Mushu the wonder mutt

having the same conversation they have every day

she lies on her bed

he lies on her legs / book/ remote/ ipod

she tells him to move

he sort of growl/ talks

she tries to reason with him

he growl/talks some more, though at a higher pitch

this continues until she gets totally frustrated and rats him out to one of us

or he runs out of growlish words and gives up and moves

it would be hilarious if they didn't do it every single day... about three times a day

Phantom's revenge was overheard later

because the studio is next to the pool

and she was sweetly luring the bed hog dog nice and close

which was followed by a splash and a yelp

then hysterical laughter

now I would love to tell you he won't fall for that again

but sadly he fell for it at least two more times

and will continue to fall for it all summer

I also heard a lady in the grocery shop talking on her phone

about a rash her husband had in his nether regions

I kid you not... I steered well clear of the checkout line she went through

I heard my butt tell me it was going to get bigger if I ate more chocolate

I chose to ignore that one... I was just overhearing, not acting on anything after all

I kind of overheard someone say that it is possible to do some activity called housework

but as I was unfamiliar with that term and didn't have a dictionary handy

so I have no clue what it refers to and am going to ignore that one as well

and finally I overheard that I was having a give away 

and the 4 small originals in this photo are up for grabs

the details for entering are in this post if you are interested... xx

I also posted on Sunday and here is the link if you missed it...
