Synchronicity
Dropped Shelby off at school this morning & was talking to one of the dad’s on the walk back to our cars.
I’d talked to him (and his wife) briefly before, from time to time. He’s on his 2nd marriage. His son from his first marriage moved in with him, long after the divorce, after he was already married to 2nd wife (and they had already adopted some kids).
I hadn’t told him about Allison moving in with us, yet. But, he started the conversation with me by asking what grade my stepdaughter was in, so I’m wondering, now, if his older kids had seen her around school & he had put 2 & 2 together (matching up last names).
Anyway, we talked for too long about step-life, custody, father’s rights, fathers as parents & not babysitters, counseling, moms who use their kids instead of parenting them, etc.
When I got back into the car & started driving, the radio was on & they had just started playing ‘Naive Melody (This must be the place)’.
Cool.
