3/4 The chatter was topical but I think I let my familiarity guard down a bit too much. Before the crowd got really big — I just turn into a #wallflower at that point — I engaged in some chatter with other parents who also arrived early. It was nice having a topic to share. But I might have dwelled too long. Felt #avoided after that. Dialed it back some.

Knowing when the #conversation should continue and when to stop really isn’t easy for me. I don’t see the cues.
