Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I am getting to know my younger son's mother-in-law better, due to her having a baby shower up in Washington and another shower happening down here hosted by my daughter-in-law's friend.  The mother requested I send photos of my son, and I waded through crumbling photo albums to capture babyhood through college, and it took quite some time.  I sent them overnight, but then Mother Nature hit the area with a blizzard, and the shower was postponed, and yesterday my daughter-in-law requested photos of her husband for her friend to put together a presentation, and I didn't know whether to tell her about her mother's plan or not.  It was supposed to be a secret!  Today I called, got a call back, and her mother has spilled the beans to her daughter so I'm off the hook!  I was exasperated, then realized, well, surprise, surprise, I've actually had some delightful conversations due to the mix-up, and she's nice and friendly and I'm glad she's an in-law.  Somehow we made a silk purse out of a sow's ear!  (Gruesome saying)
