Somebody’s always watching

My mother-in-law to be has a saying, "somebody's always watching." She means it in a good way because she's a good person. She means that any good act you do will be recognised by somebody, somewhere. This notion fills me with foreboding, not because I am a bad person but because (very) occassionally I do something I wouldn't want my mother-in-law to find out about. As my friend's dad says, which I am minded to agree with, "honesty is the best policy but it's not always necessary to hit people over the head with the truth."
