"We've had a rough day," I told David, by way of explanation, as I tried to settle her down.
"You know," he said, politely, "I sort of sensed that."

Emotional Intelligence
We arrived a few minutes early today when picking up David from his Biology course, so I got out of the car to talk to some of the other mothers. Susie threw a fit because I left her in the car with her siblings. I ignored her. By the time David came out, she had unbuckled herself and was indulging in her own particular variety of histrionics.
Think Tasmanian Devil, with pigtails.
"We've had a rough day," I told David, by way of explanation, as I tried to settle her down.
"You know," he said, politely, "I sort of sensed that."

Somebody has to be the master of understatement--it sounds like it's not Susie!
ReplyDeleteI like David. He reminds me of 1 or 2 of my own boys. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how he's doing in biology, but it sounds like he's acing his sarcasm class.
ReplyDeleteI love the quiet ones, with their little funny comments.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I about fell out of my chair laughing at this :)
ReplyDeleteMy 16 yr old picks up lots of things that I would not expect him to. I think the counseling for his Aspergers made all the difference. He learning to watch peoples faces/body language and picking up on their feelings.
ReplyDeletehahaha! Sensed it. With his eyes and ears, I guess!
