the element of surprise

The other night I had a killer headache.  The girls and I were eating dinner, but my discomfort was overtaking my hunger, so I laid my head down on the table.  At that point, K & B realized I really wasn’t doing so hot.  I heard Kendall whisper to Berkeley, “Let’s make Mom a card!”  A few seconds later, Berkeley says, “Mom!  We’re gonna make you a card!”

K:  Berkeley!  You weren’t supposed to tell her!

B:  (pause) Mom, we’re not making you a card.  Sorry.

K:  (quietly to Berkeley) We are still making her a card, I just didn’t want you to tell her so it would be a surprise.

B:  (quietly to Kendall) I know, I was just trying to trick her.

K:  (whispers) Let’s write “get well soon” on it!

B:  Mom, we’re gonna write “get well soon”!

K:  UHHHHHHHHHHH!
