We're talking about secretshere. Keeping them, telling them or finding out about them. Mothers reading daughter's diary, girlfriends spying on boyfriend's cellphone. Secrets are spicy and mysterious. But is it always necessary to let the cat out of the bag? Swallowing a secret can hurt, so can revealing it, at the wrong time, in a wrong way. It can be a double edged sword.
