"Don't you tell anyone!"... it started as simple as that. I've heard those words plenty of times before to know that what was going to follow was just going to beg to be shared. She continued... "My mom found a lump in her boob and she's getting it checked today" I had tons of questions; I don't remember now if I asked them or not; and if I did, I don't remember the answers. "I want to call her" I said. "NO!!!! You can't! And don't you tell ANYONE!" UGH!! I hate those words.
I spent a whole 30 seconds (about the amount of time it takes to hang up and then dial a new number) not telling. The hubby picked up and; well... I told. But I ended the conversation with a very stern "Don't You Tell Anyone!"
