Stick it in your ear
I would really appreciate someone explaining me the phrase in the following passage from the "The Ant King" story written by Benjamin Rosenbaum :
...Sheila switched to MTV and sank into the couch next to the AntKing.
“Hi,” said the Ant King drowsily.
“Hi,” said Sheila.
“Hey, I missed you,” said the Ant King.
“Stick it in your ear,” said Sheila.
“Listen, your ambivalence about me is really getting old, Sheila,” said the Ant King.
“Ambivalence about you? Dream on,” said Sheila...
Is that an idiom? If not then what does it mean?
