Mission Impossible: Teaching a Three Year Old to Keep Secrets

Every year I usually take Josh and Andrew with me to do my Christmas shopping for Darrin. I don't really enjoy taking them, but I'm a mom and that's just what mom's do. It's always worked out fine, but NOT this year. When I pick something out for Darrin I explain to Josh that it's a secret and we can't tell daddy what we bought. Well, Darrin comes home from work and immediately tells Darrin what we bought him and (whispering) says, "shhhh, it's a secret." Darrin knows just about all the presents that we've bought him. I just can't get Josh to understand that if it's a secret you don't tell anyone...Maybe next year if Darrin doesn't want to know what he's getting from me, he'll send me out on my own without the kids!!
