The Parents Are Coming! The Parents Are Coming!

My parents are coming up to surprise my chickens for a week. I believe they have placed unnecessary stress on Coby and I to keep this secret. I think that next time they should tell the kids and not us. They are better at keeping secrets then Coby and I. These are some of the "slip-ups" and how we have "covered" ourselves over the past few weeks.
*Just a side note, I have only been the reason for one slip-up, and the "cover-er" of MANY of Coby's. Maybe because he is more excited then me? We shall see.

Slip Up #1
Stated in front of Brittany.
"When your parents get here they are not sleeping on this bed are they?"
"Don't you mean IF they come?"

Slip Up #2
Stated in front of Justin & Michael.
"Is this party today?"
"NOOOOOOOO"
"OH, That's right its when your folks are here."
"NOOOOOOOO, remember they cant come now."
"What?"
"Remember, they cant come because of Dads shoulder?"
"Oh, right"

Slip Up #3
Stated to Rebekah.
"Maybe when Memaw and Papa come they can bring us one"
"DON'T YOU MEAN IF!!!!!!"

Slip Up #4
Stated within ear shot of Rebekah & Brittany.
"So I was thinking when your parents are here we could go Huckleberry picking"
(Angry stare that could bore a hole in his head)
"I mean if there are any left...in November....(the hole is starting to take form)...when they might come...if your Dads shoulder is better...(a hole the size of a huckleberry)...then we could pick some...in November...if they come." (The hole is getting bigger)

Slip Up #5
Stated in passing all children within ear shot.
"So when your...(bigger hole forming)...sister called you....(nice save)

Slip Up #6
Stated to Michael in target when looking for bullets for his Nerf gun.
"Maybe we should have Memaw and Papa bring, I mean send some to us from their Target."

Yes much stress trying to keep this secret...they cant come soon enough!
