So fly-on-the-wall refers to someone in the room who silently observes what is happening and said between whoever else is in the room—usually covertly so they are hidden and unnoticed.
So when I expressed the humorous wish to be there to watch your convo with the parents, I’m ironically ignoring the fact this entire thread is about spying and intrusive/unwanted surveillance.

Sorry, English isn’t my first language and I’m not entirely sure what do you mean by that.

Hope that helps!
I get it now. Thanks for the explanation!
