My dear,
You can learn a lot about keeping a secret from the three wise monkeys.
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are blind. Three may keep a secret, if two of them are deaf. Three may keep a secret, if two of them are mute. Three may keep a secret, if the secret’s either not seen, not heard, or not spoke. Ahhh, but with living creatures that’s an impossibility.
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
… And I strongly stress the ‘may’. You never know who they’re telling in the afterlife.
Falsely yours,
Benjamin Franklin
