Irony
We live in a small town. It's easy to forget that, sometimes, but really, everyone knows everyone around here, one way or another.
At a healing circle this weekend, a friend mentioned that she had overheard some conversation about Jack that amused her greatly. It seems that somewhere in this town, there are people who feel bad for our poor deprived boy because he's too serious and doesn't know how to be a child. She didn't say who thought that or why they thought that, and it doesn't really matter -- it's just funny.
The tidbit of gossip had to be delivered at some volume, because little Fauntelroy was busy tearing at full speed and full volume around the house with his little friend. They were being very fast, very loud dinosaurs.
We had to laugh.
OMG, I think Jack is a perfect, and smart kid... people think he is quiet because he is just too smart!!!! You guys are lucky to have him...
ReplyDelete*laugh* Thank you, Sari. Yes, we are very, very lucky to have Jack.
ReplyDeleteAs Nadia's Mamma, you know a lot about children who know how to behave properly for the situation.
Nadia is very sweet and very, very smart, too.
