eyes in the back of your head

One afternoon, Karyn, my sister-in-law, was driving with her two little girls, Taylor and Tyneel, in the back seat. After a few minutes of listening to them argue, Karyn yelled, "Knock it off, both of you!"
Taylor, the eldest, asked, "How did you know what we were doing?"
"Mummies have eyes in the back of their heads," Karyn replied.
A few weeks later, the gang was again out driving, doing some errands.
"Mummy," Taylor asked innocently, "do you still have eyes in the back of your head?"
"Of course I do."
Karyn responded. "Why do you ask?"
"Well," she said, pointing to the object in her hands, "I thought maybe you could read us this book while you drive."
子供に嘘はつけないですね。
