4th Grade, Unit 8: Cheaper by the dozen. The trigger provided shows two connected scenes that both relate to curiosity. The father of the family is talking with his college friend, and the twins are listening in. Dad explains that they want some time alone to have a conversation without the children around. The friend has an exciting job offer, and the parents hide away in the basement so that they can discuss the possibility of moving, away from curious ears. But the children still manage to find a creative way to eavesdrop.
