I always think about that Twilight Zone episode, “The Shelter”......that’s why you need to keep your plans secret.
Me too, that is such a classic.
I’ve been tricked before into letting things slip out — and I think I’ve learned my lesson now. (You know, where they made it sound like they’re preparing their families by buying extra food, etc. Then, they end up saying “oh, we’ll just come to your house.” That makes me so mad!)
I remember that episode and as I recall, a large crowd came to visit.
