Why are you cutting all those branches off rosebush? Its called pruning and it makes the plant grow better. Oh. So, why do they call a dried plum a prune? Hmmm... Thats a good question. But from now on you should always ask for a dried plum. Why? Dad. Because if you ask for a prune, someone may think you want a good clipping. Dad. Thanks for hiding that for me. Not at all, I know how these things can be discovered by accident. And sometimes no by accident! Yes, I know what you mean. No one will find it here. And I wont say anything to Franklin about it. I just want to know, thats all. If its not something youre hiding from me. Why cant you tell me what it is? Because I told Mrs. Bear that I wouldnt. Well, can you tell why you cant tell me? I dont think youre going to give up, are you? That was just Mrs. Bear on the phone, she wanted me to remind you to take the price tag off Bears gift before you wrap it. What? Thanks, Dad. I just want to know, thats all. And he is my best friend. So its okay if you tell me what hes getting for his birthday. Its hard for best friends to keep secrets from one another. so if you dont know what it is, you dont have to worry about spoiling his surprise. Aww, Mom, I wont tell Bear. I promise.
