Remember those first days of school? Trying to start up a conversation with someone who you think looks normal, and hoping that they think you look normal??
Forced small talk.
Searching for common ground.
Probing lifestyle and morals and family values without sounding nosy...
You don't do that??? Liar :)
There is a playground I take Will to pretty often. I typically go alone, sometimes I'll offer invites to friends on this side of town, but with "busy mom" scheduling, I typically go alone.
I have no problem going alone, I bring a book, catch up on correspondence, and try to find another mom to chat with.
The latter is mostly unsuccessful.
But today, I met a really sweet person who I think I have a lot in common with! I've been fooled before, but I have a good feeling today! We've already set up a play date for next Thursday.
I can't wait.
