Eli 4.3 Keeps a Secret
Eli 4.3 and Emily (our babysitter) have been working on a Christmas present for me."What am I getting for Christmas, Eli?" I ask.
"Don't tell!" Emily shouts. Eli 4.3 has never kept a secret for more than forty-five seconds.
Eli laughs. "Daddy, it's a secret, and I'M NOT TELLING," he says.
"Good boy," Emily says.
Tonight, I go up to tell Eli goodnight. "What are you making me for Christmas, Eli?" I tease.
"I'm not telling you," Eli 4.3 says. "You write stories about ME and I write stories about YOU, Daddy, but I'm NOT telling you. And it's no STORY--it's just a GROCERY LIST. Now go downstairs because I have to work on the column."
