Yesterday, I needed Kaden to be good at Hobby Lobby, so of course I bribed him with a very special treat. "What treat, mommy?" he asked excitedly. "It's a surprise, so you'll have to be good to find out what it is."
He got very excited and said, "Mommy, I have a surprise too." "Oh, do you?" I responded. He proceeded to explain that we needed to go to Hobby Lobby to get a picture frame to paint. Confused, I told him we weren't going to get a picture frame. We were getting something else. He was very insistent that we needed a picture frame, but didn't tell me why. We didn't get a picture frame.
Later that evening when we were doing what we had planned to do with our Hobby Lobby findings (I'm not being specific because a certain someone will probably read this and I don't want to spoil any secrets), Kaden proceeded to tell me that he needs to go to Hobby Lobby to get a frame to paint for mommy for Christmas.
I told him he probably shouldn't have told me that, then we had a little talk about what a surprise is. His response? "But you had a surprise, and I had a surprise." Luckily Kaden doesn't know exactly what we're doing with my Hobby Lobby purchase, so he can't give away much yet!

See, you should have just let him buy the picture frame, then he could have kept it a secret!
I love Hobby Lobby! I wish I had a million dollars to spend there. By the way, is it ok if I post your Kaden-ism of the week on MLIA and see if it gets on? Or you can! It's a great story that is perfect for the site!
