Private Eyes

One thing I’ve learned, from talking to my dad and other pastors through the years, is that preachers *always* know when people are sleeping during the sermon. You will never get away with it.

A somewhat related corollary – older siblings always know when younger siblings have been messing with their stuff. I think younger siblings sometimes think they’re clever, getting into their older siblings’ stuff and taking/reading/eating whatever without them knowing. Take my word for it; just because we don’t say anything doesn’t mean we don’t know. We always do.
