Birthday surprise! (Not)


It was Louie's dad's birthday yesterday, June 4. Louie had gotten his dad a shirt, wrapped it and told me to have Chloe give it. So I went up to Chloe, told her it was a shirt gift for Lolo because it was his birthday, and not to tell anyone at Frisco that she was giving him a gift so it would be a surprise. She quietly agreed.


Later that morning, Lolo, Lola, Chloe and I were in a new, fairly empty room at the office. Seeing we were alone, she asked me if she could tell Lolo that she had a gift for him. I smiled and said "Sure!"


She calls out to her Lolo... "Lolo, I have a gift for you!" with the biggest grin on her face. I was so proud.


"Mommy says it's a shirt."


(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


Moral of the story: Do not tell kids less than 7 the contents of anything intended to be a gift.
