My mother-in-law announced my pregnancy in Rio de Janeiro before I did.

Family · Amsterdam

Side A (age 27)

I told one person. Within 11 hours it had been said out loud in Rio de Janeiro to everyone. It was the one piece of news I wanted to give in my own words and I never got to.

Side B (age 37)

I was told in a room full of family with nobody asking me to keep it quiet. I assumed the announcement had already happened. I'd have said nothing if anyone had said the word "secret".
