When I was little, my dad would take me fishing. He would always tell me to put my hand over my mouth when I talked because the fish could read lips and understand everything that we said. After that, until I figured out that fish couldn't read lips that is, I was always very careful about what I said while we fished and kept my hand over my mouth at all times.
