Does your parent whisper bad things like diseases?

My mom does as did her mom. In fact when my Gram was in the hospital she turned to my mom and said, "I think I have cancer" but whispered the cancer part. It was heartbreaking.

My mom still does this but she will also do it when telling me something bad about someone as if there is a chance of being overheard.
