Wet Behind the Ears

Today I was changing Akemi, and as usual I had my attention on the hot spots. During changing, Akemi usually has her head turned 90 degrees to the left side. It's uncanny really because if you just look at her head you wouldn't know if she was face up or face down. Sometimes her drool runs down the side of her mouth and forms a puddle around her neck. This was one of those times. Silvina mopped up the spillage and I picked her up.

I noticed though that her neck was still wet. Tracing back to the source, I found that she was wet behind the ears. Maybe that's where the expression came from?
