Instead of spelling it out or code, my wife and I will use increasingly obscure synonyms to hide our conversations from the kids.
They figured out "frozen confection" meant ice cream, so I need a new one.
I do this as well. I can't say I've kept a lot of secrets, but at least the kids have a large vocabulary.
