To let it go in one ear and out the other

I WAS interviewing a jeweler for a story I was writing on giving new life to old jewelry, and I asked him to tell me about his most memorable client. "It was a divorced woman who had me make a pair of earrings from her inscribed wedding band," he recalled. "One earring read, 'with all' and the other, 'my love.' "When I asked why she had wanted it done that way, she answered, 'To remind me the next time anyone said that to me, to let it go in one ear and out the other.'"
