God, you wouldn't want to be stuck with me at a party would you?
Pruni, I wonder if you're at that bit where you've been a bit subsumed and you're coming out of it, I wouldn't have had ANYTHING to talk about when ds was just 3! In fact, I was talking about Fast Food Nation at preschool one day and a woman came up to me and said "how old's your child?" when I said four and a bit she said "oh so THAT'S why you've got your brain back enough to think about this stuff" - she had a 2yo iirc and I liked her very much and had I stayed living there I think I'd still know her (Devon). I know not everyone's like that but I was and she was.
