Listen, do you want to know a secret
I feel her warm breath on my ear: "Mommy, I want to tell you a secret." This is the latest trend for my four-year-old daughter, secrets. Most of the time, she just says a bunch of gibberish. Sometimes, she actually tells me something, like we have a kitty.
I can see the secret sharing going on at Tara's pre-school. It cracks me up because how many secrets can these little ones actually have that mean anything?
I try to tell her that she should not share secrets about other people, that it is not very nice. But I don't think she has even thought of that yet, so I probably planted the idea in her head. I wonder if this is how we get started in the art of gossip.

Maybe they're sharing stock tips?
I hate secrets. If you're the one being left out of the loop, it's maddening. The big secret is that there never really is any secret, but the person who doesn't know sure thinks there is.
I remember cousin Pam when she was a tot wanting to tell me a secret. I bent in lower and lower and then she blew hard in my ear. Nice big wet sputter.
I fell for it every time.
Tara can tell me her secrets any time she wants. Like what medical school she wants to go to.
