Eavesdropping

Eavesdropping is when someone listens to other people's conversations without them knowing. It's like when you're playing hide and seek with your friends and you hide behind a bush to listen to where they are hiding, but they don't know you're there.

Sometimes, people use special devices to eavesdrop on conversations from far away, like when your dad uses his telescope to spy on the neighbors. This is not okay and it's important to respect other people's privacy.

If you think someone is eavesdropping on your conversations, you can move to a different location or speak more quietly. It's important to remember that what you say might be private and should only be shared with people who you trust.
