THE THING I TOLD

The thing I told my grandma....

I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore. Don't tell Mommy.

The thing my granddaughter told me....

I punched a guy in the face. He deserved it. Don't tell Mom and Dad.

The thing my sister told me....

I had an abortion twenty years ago. Don't tell Mom.

The thing my husband told me....

The doctor says it serious. Don't tell the kids.

The thing my little grandson told me....

You're nice to kids. You should have some, someday.

The thing I told my best friend....

Everything. I don't have to ask her not to tell. She never does.
