I know I'll love it...

Last night after the boy had gone to bed he called me back to his room and started describing to me in great detail the windchime he is making at school. The conversation stemmed from my friend P coming over (it drives me nuts that the boy hears someone come in and wants to be part of the action...but I guess that's only natural) and commenting on the wind chime I just hung the other day that my mother bought me when she went on a cruise last year...

Anyway, immediately P knew that the windchime the boy was describing (the one he was making) was likely for Mothers Day...but I thought "no way the boy is so good at keeping secrets"...UNTIL...I asked him when he'd get to bring his windchime home and I was met with this answer "awwwwwwww man!!!!"...I couldn't help but laugh. He quickly stumbled over his words "nevermind mom", "it's for you mom".

I guess he just got so caught up in telling me all about it and how cool it was that he forgot it was supposed to be a surprise for Mothers Day.
