“Daddy, Daddy!” my five-year old called. He was in the bathroom, just getting out of the shower. I was in his room, getting him a clean pair of pajamas.<\/p>\n
“Yes?”<\/p>\n
“Come here! I have something to show you.”<\/p>\n
“Okay,” I dropped his clean pjs on his bed, but only made two steps towards the bathroom before he poked his head out of the door.<\/p>\n
“Wait a minute. It’s a secret. Can you keep a secret?”<\/p>\n
“Sure.”<\/p>\n
“Even from momma?”<\/p>\n
Hmm… “Well,” I said. “I’ll try, but I might have to tell her, depending on what it is.”<\/p>\n
He didn’t answer.<\/p>\n
“Sorry about that,” I said. “But I might.”<\/p>\n
“Okay,” he said seriously. “Then I better keep it to myself.”<\/p>\n
And he closed the door.<\/p>\n
I snuck around later to try and see if I could discover the secret, but no luck. I’ll never know whatever it was he had wanted to show me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
