Don't Tell Your Mother About This

By A Friend • May 22, 2025

We came across this gem on a forum where someone asked, “In honor of Father’s Day, what was your ‘don’t tell your mother about this’ moment?”—and we knew it had to be shared here:

"Female coworker of mine was miserable at work one day. I asked her what was wrong...she told me it was her anniversary, and she knew her husband had forgotten. She had pre-teen girls at home during summer vacation....I knew her home phone number (pre-cell phone era). I called her home phone and one kid picked up. Explained to the kid who I was and that she needed to call Dad at work and remind him it was Mom and Dad's anniversary....and don't tell Mom OR Dad I called.

The next day she was all smiles, gosh he DID remember, brought home flowers and took her to dinner. Mission Accomplished. Not a word was ever said about this....

Until 6 years later, when she left the company. She gave me a hug at a farewell luncheon, and whispered, 'my kids ratted you out. Thank you'."
