I don't know what it is with my siblings and surprises but they like to keep things a secret. Yesterday my younger brother called me and asked me if I could come and pick him up. He was driving from Texas to Provo so that he could move a friend. But I couldn't tell Mom and Dad.
My sister-in-law, Carol, did the same thing in November. She showed up for her grandfather's funeral and then suddenly was just walking through the door for Sunday dinner. My sister-in-law Leah showed up in October when my mom was coming home from Texas. Leah was just with her when my mom walked through the door.
I like that they come, and it is fun to see them, but what's up with the need to keep someone out of the loop? My dad could NOT have been more surprised. My brother just casually walked into the living room after having taken a shower. And then my mom was very surprised when there he was, sitting on the couch. It was pretty funny to watch.
Still...I'm not sure I get it. Those siblings of mine.
