[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just small talk. Nobody cares or remembers. The same question gets asked repeatedly as a filler question.[/quote] +1 My kids’ orthodontist asks the same question every visit, just swaps out the holiday- “Are you all traveling for spring break/4th of July/Labor Day/over the holidays?” It’s predictable. I view it as the modern equivalent of talking about the weather.[/quote] DP but same re: Orthodontist. Some parents at school over the years ask *only* because they want to brag about their plans. You can tell when their eyes glaze over after they ask you, just waiting for their turn to speak. And then some others really want to know/small talk. I would say 9 out of 10 parents ask this question every year, every break. DC is in 10th grade now, been having this same circular conversation since Kindergarten. [/quote]
