Surprise!

I am taking Ryan & Andrew bowling this afternoon and I enjoy keeping stuff a secret until we get there. Drives them crazy. Here is Ryan trying to get it out of me before we go...
Ryan: Mommy - I like surprises when it's like my birthday present but I don't like them when it's about something we are doing.
Mommy: Why not?
Ryan: Well, what if you say we are going somewhere fun and we go to a coffee shop?
Mommy: When have I ever taken you to a coffee shop?
Ryan: I'm just exampling.
