The Gift Of Foresight

(I have a four-year-old daughter.)

Daughter: “What did you get Mom for Christmas?”

Me: “I’m not telling. You’ll tell her.”

Daughter: “No I won’t!”

Me: “Are you sure you won’t tell her?”

Daughter: “I’m sure.”

Me: “Dishtowels.”

Daughter: “Mom! He got you dishtowels!”

Me: “And that’s why I didn’t tell you what I really got her.”
