I know the drill, keep my mouth shut. Don't ask. Don't pretend you are not asking yet try to lead conversation into the "don't ask" area. Don't casually ask other parents at pick up what they worked on. Turn the radio up loud on the way home. Ignore the sad faced child with head pressed to car the window for that never ending drive home. Try singing real loud off key when the silence is exhausting. Apologize for slipping and asking just that one time, oops. Try not to wish for the one millionth time she played soccer or badminton or chess. Stay off the crazy train. Know tomorrow that child, that insanely strong child sleeping with the stuffed animal will bounce back. I know, I know keep my mouth shut ...... It will be alright .....really it will......
