I don’t know if the blank stares and the judgment are mutually exclusive here in the boonies… At a holiday party at GK1’s school last night, my husband was wearing an SPS windbreaker. A lady at our table: “Oh is this the church downtown?” Husband: “No, it’s a boarding school in NH. Our daughter is a senior there.” Lady: “Oh! How come she there and your son is here?” Husband: “It was the best fit for her.” Lady, compassionately, “Aww, that’s ok! She’ll be alright!”
