Lily, the secret-keeper

Lily knows how to keep secrets. This is what we discussed today while I was baking a pie to eat on Father's Day:

Lily (seeing me eat some chocolate): Dad, you love chocolate, don't you?

Me: Yes, I do.

Lily: That's why we got you some chocolate for Father's Day.

Me: Who did?

Lily: Mom, Scout, Greta, and me. But it's a secret.

Me: Um, Lily, you just told me about it. It's not much of a secret anymore.

Lily: But I'm not telling you where it is!

I suspect that if Lily did, in fact, know where the chocolate is hidden, she would have opened it up to share it with me.

Not that Father's Day presents are much of a surprise. Jen told someone the other day on the phone what she was planning to get me, even though I was sitting five feet from her in the adjoining room. I guess they figure it's not worth trying to surprise me. :-)
