Kids say funny things, and I think one of the things that makes them funny is that they point out how illogical our use of language sometimes is. Before Christmas, I was trying to introduce the boys to the "giving" part of the holiday. I had each of them wrap a small present with me for his brother. Troy gave Teddy one of the magnets we had made out of one of his drawings. Teddy was happy with the tiny square package tied with a ribbon -- he didn't even care what was inside.
Teddy and I picked out a Star Wars figure for Troy and wrapped it together. Teddy was so excited. "I can't wait to tell Troy!"
"No, Teddy, listen. Don't say anything. It's a secret."
"Oh, yeah. OK, when Troy comes home, I'll whisper it real quiet in his ear!"
