There is so much about this story that is controversial, but the most shocking aspect of the story, to me, is that there are siblings who could/would keep a newborn family member's gender a secret.
In our house, there are no secrets. More pointedly, the girls are not so good at the secret keeping.
Exhibit A:
After we purchased an iPad for Skip for his birthday, Lauren informed him that his present was in a white bag with an apple on it.
Exhibit B:
The girls commented on cousin Lexy's new brown slippers and volunteered, "We got you a new brown purse!"
Exhibit C:
Many, many, many Christmas-related slips and divulgences. Needless to say, I shop for gifts alone now.
Maybe their indiscretion is gift-related? Likely not. There is no chance that they could maintain a veneer of silence upon questioning. In fact, it would not take much prodding at all.
