I feel like this could be interpreted in more than one way. When I read it, I thought it was a special, happy secret between a father and a child. But when I read the first comment, I realized that you could interpret it in another, less nice way.

Yes, That’s what makes it so interesting that it has so many implications.
Funny, I didn’t interpret this as particularly dark or even morbidly suggestive. Maybe the interpretation says more about the reader than it does the story.
Also, on a website full of a lot of 6 word jokes and moments in time, I appreciate an entry that actually tells a story. This is a good post.
This is sinister (and sad) but obviously could be happy except that it is in the ‘Scary’ category. My daddy always told me and my brother what he’d bought our mummy for xmas and it was a lovely, special part of our relationship with him. I don’t think he taught us how to keep a secret quite like this story tells though! I think it is a fantastic piece of writing.

I really enjoy this one because it says a lot about the reader based on their own inference.

Maybe it depends on reader interpretation, but it doesn’t help for me to be taking a sex crimes class for my college degree and see this. Just saying, it can be innocent, or it can be very, VERY wrong.
