GOSSIP.
Admit it. Youre gossipy
by nature. You do your
best to overhear all
your
neighbours
conversations
and
discover every single
thing they do. Youve
got a neighbour just
like you and you tell
each other the news
every day.

LISTENING

CAROL.- Listen, Alice. Can you keep a secret?

ALICE.- Of course, I can. You can trust me
CAROL.- Ok. Come closer (She whispers in her ear). Anns daughter is pregnant.
ALICE.- No way! Anns daughter is pregnant. Are you sure?
CAROL.- Im a 100% positive, but remember. Dont tell anyone.
ALICE.- Girl, dont worry. Im very good at keeping secrets.

the ones listed below:

My parents lawyer was in jail.
Mariahs and Lydias children are hooked on chat rooms.
