a little bird told me

Someone told me, but I'm not telling you who it is

1)Me: "Mike and Erin got married!"
Casey: "I know. A little bird told me".

2) Parent: "A little bird told me that you have been smoking".
Child (embarassed): "Mother/Father!"
Parent: "Cigarettes are a waste of money just to be burned up!"
