[quote=Anonymous]I think you’ve hit on something, PP! My daughter’s school is full of socially awkward insecure parents who have no idea who to make small talk. Small talk with some of them is like listening to someone’s college application read out loud. Comment on the weather. Comment about something interesting you ate. Comment on a movie you just saw. Find an interesting bird flying by or a cute dog and talk about that. Anything else, please! If we don’t know each other well and you can’t think of what to say, please don’t fill the silence with a monologue on grades, swim times, reading levels, or travel team stats. I can’t imagine what these people’s parents are like if they taught them that this is a normal way to make conversation.[/quote]
