Sylvia's birthday today. I had David carry the presents upstairs and put them on the bed. Then, when Sylvia wasn't looking, I fetched a big present (bread machine) and put it in the closet. I whispered to David that we were not going to let Mummy know about the big present until she had opened the little ones on the bed. "Okay," he whispered excitedly, "Sssssshhh, Mummy's coming". Sylvia walked in. "MUMMY! When you've opened those ones I can tell you about the big present!"
