Dont Tell Anyone

Love all but trust a few a secret shared is no more in the hidden dark corner. “I fell from a Tree” to a best friend was jokingly said in a serious conversation which ended with “don’t tell anyone” The connection is endless and remarkable; friends are friends to other friends of friends, the subject passes by, amusement is derived “she has bad breath and now falls from Trees”? Is the recap of a story ending with a plea not to tell anyone. In a place of worship, giving thanks, a congregant sees and shakes her head in innocent pity. “she’s done well, considering her jobless status, taking care of medical bills for halitosis and accidents” “don’t tell anyone” is said to the next worshiper who hears. In the supermarket, an item is forgotten from afar, a middle-aged lady brings such to attention. After much gratitude comes a careless remark “its herbal tooth-wash especially good for the accident-woman with a bad breath”. “Oh sorry, that suppose to be a secret, or do you know her”? He speaks with a smile, still in appreciation, as she regresses her obvious limping steps in sadness and shame, the result of her untimely sneeze sums up the great clue of her identity. Many ears can’t just be avoided by an unleashed secret!-is her regret.
