Virgin Ears

Tucked away somewhere in the back of my head is a memory of being in our high school auditorium overhearing a conversation that would qualify as "adult content" and someone pointing out to me that my virgin ears shouldn't be listening.

Why would some little thing like that stick in my head for decades?

The long-term effect of that seems to be that I don't much enjoy being naïve although I do seem to be that kind of person.
