Can you keep a secret?

This morning over breakfast, Isaac said to Mark, "Dad, you're going to love your new shirt."

"What shirt?" Mark asks.

"The one that we got you for a surprise."

"You aren't supposed to tell people what the surprise is, then it's not a secret anymore "

"I guess I'm not good at surprises"



I got this story second hand, so I may have gotten some of the dialogue wrong, but it is getting me through a rough parenting day... lots of misbehaving and not listening happening in our house today!
As rotten as they can be, kids sure say some cute things!
