Even the good news is a secret

He doesn’t even want me telling my parents his good news, and I don’t blame him. The way they respond belittles it. If he gets a lot of money for a job, they tend to bring up how he could have asked for more money. If something that I know is a big deal happens for him, they don’t quite get it, and say, “Oh. That’s nice. So, did you catch Letterman last night?”
