That reminds me,

2:45

I had a big secret, too.

2:47

My friend told me, don't tell anyone and don't tell your mum...

2:52

And I told my mum by accident.

2:54

Oh no!

2:55

Can you reveal the secret to us?

2:57

Oh, yeah. She was pregnant.

2:58

She's now had the baby.

2:59

OK.

3:00

But she said, yeah, I'm pregnant, but it's really early,

3:02

so please don't tell anyone.

3:04

Don't even tell your mum.

3:06

And then I spoke to my mum a few weeks later and said:

3:09

You don't know? She's pregnant!

3:12

And then I realised, oh no! I wasn't supposed to tell you.

3:16

But that was kind of an accident.

3:19

It was definitely an accident.

3:20

Yeah.

3:20

But I felt really bad.

3:22

Well, now she's had the baby. It's OK.

3:24

It's not a surprise anymore.

3:26

Sorry!

3:30

Beth, do you think secrets are a good or a bad thing?

3:35

I think it really depends on the secret.

3:39

There are good secrets,

3:41

like proposing or having a baby.

3:44

And then I guess a bad secret really is a lie.

3:48

If you have to lie, then that's not good.

3:51

Yeah, I agree.

3:53

It's... it's not...

3:54

yeah, it's not good to lie.

3:56

And I think that's a reason why I'm not very good at keeping secrets.

4:01

Because I'm a really bad liar.

4:04

You can see it in my face if I'm holding...

4:07

holding in a secret.
