CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

‘It’s a secret!’
Those words immediately got me thinking of the next person to give this sweet gist.
Hey, hey, hey, I know what you are thinking, that I can’t keep a secret right? Well, the truth is everyone can keep a secret, depending on how important it is to the person in question.
Secrets like;
That one time you took your friends stuff without asking and kept mute when she/he complained about its being missing;
That white lie you told your parents or spouse;
that porn you have hidden in your laptop or phone….
The list goes on and on.

If you ask me, the best way to keep a secret is never to tell anyone even your spouse!!!

There is an old joke that said ‘if it pinches you to tell, tell it to a brick wall’

Everyone remembers that 90’s movie ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ where their secret came back to haunt them a year later (it still gives me goose bumps).

More surprising was the startled look on a man’s face when his wife didn’t as much as flinch when he first told her he was having an affair,
‘The walls have eyes as well as ears you know’ was her cold reply.
Have you ever leaked a secret told you by a friend who categorises you as a best friend, to some other persons whom you believe are your best friends?
We Nigerians call that ‘aproko’…
We all have that one friend who can’t keep a secret even if their life depended on it! Lol.

I won’t hide it or lie; I am totally guilty of some of this … are you?
