[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this straight. My kid just got into an Ivy (really! Although I'm not the faux modesty poster). For whatever reason (pride, schadenfreude, being a sad person who lives through my kid's success) I want you all to know about it. So my take-away from this thread is, I should most definitely start a conversation about your kid -- just so I can work my own kid's Ivy into the conversation. Because if I held back, that would be false modesty. Uh, OK.[/quote] No. If you are not genuinely interested in other people's kids, don't ask. But it you don't want to ask because it might result in a question about what your kid is doing, and you don't want to answer that because your child is so very magically superfantastic that no other child can compare and the other parent will just feel terrible about her loser kid, you should punch yourself in the face until you lose consciousness.
