Little Life Lesson #1 (© Jas Callihan, Bad Kitty by Michele Jaffe):
When you have a personal secret that you don't want your family to know, it's best not to tell your friends. Especially if those friends are also friendly with your brother.
Because certain members of your family will eventually get wind of it. And in the case of Sir Pouts Alot, the pouting force will be magnified ten-fold. Beware of the Cry-Beams. They are a powerful weapon of Mass Destruction that will often either lead to Ruin or Absolute Disgust. You pick.
Conclusion: Just keep it to yourself.
