I have teenage nephews who are an endless source of amusement. One day in class one of my students said, "Ms. Gerald, I saw your nephew Andrew at a party this weekend. But he wasn't drinking, I swear."
I laughed and said she was a little too quick with that info, and she'd probably told me more than I needed to know.
Of course, with that sort of ammunition, I did the only thing I could do and immediately high-tailed it over to my sister's house to pick on my nephew. When I said Jackie told me he'd been drinking at a party that weekend, his ears turned orange and stayed that way for a week.
Another nephew, Dusty, plays baseball for the high school team. One day Dusty's dad said at the dinner table, "Son, I talked to your coach today."
Dusty said, "It wasn't like that, I promise. You have to listen to my side."
Although Keith, Dusty's father, had actually only briefly run into the coach and not even talked about Dusty, he said, "Okay, let's hear it." After which Dusty proceeded to spill his guts about an unfortunate incident that got him grounded for a month. We haven't told him yet that he ratted on himself.
