Shhhh!

If you want Sarah to keep a secret, fuggetabouddit!

This is true for all young children in most cases and I knew that she would blab, but it was fun telling her...

I ordered a special T-shirt for Pete as an Xmas present. Oh, and I ordered one for myself as well. Anyway, the package arrived the other day and I opened it with Sarah standing next to me asking "What is it? Is it for me? What is it, Mommy?" about a billion times. She gets very excited when we get packages in the mail - she believes they are all for her, naturally. ;)

I explained that it was for Daddy. "Why?" Knew that was coming, eh?

Me: "It's a Christmas present."
Sarah: "Christmas present? For me?"
Me: "No, it's for Daddy."
Sarah: "Why?"
Me: *sigh* "I just told you why, Sarah."
Sarah: "Can I see it?"

I showed it to her, explained what it was and told her that it was a secret. She couldn't tell Daddy about the shirt because it was a surprise. "Yes, Mommy."

Famous last words.

Well, as soon as Pete got home, Sarah said, "You got a T-shirt."

"Hey! You're supposed to keep it secret!"
"It's a surprise, Daddy. A shirt for Christmas!"

Bah! Well, there went that. So I decided to go ahead and let him have it. But I made Sarah go get it from the kitchen.

Guess I'll only tell Christopher secrets now. ;)
