[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be tricky to ask OP. My kid goes to an Ivy, so I never asked people because it seems loaded. So, if they say their kid goes to "x" and ask me where mine goes, it seems that I'm just trying to brag. So, I never say where my kid goes.[/quote] This type of "modesty" whether faux or not is one of the most annoying things. The classic example is someone saying " I went to school near Boston" to avoid saying Havard. We really aren't that impressed or awed. I[/quote] Yeah, really, we can handle it.[/quote] So you're really fine if I use the pretext of asking you about your kid, in order to shoehorn a brag about my little Friedrich's Sorbonne acceptance into the conversation? All righty then, I'll be sure to set this trap for you! (If you think PP was putting on false modesty, then you missed her point.)[/quote]
