It was on the verge of being uncomfortable. The praises. The love. The adulation. The child is a leader and a caring friend of others in class and a teachers' helper and speaks so well and is always happy and helpful and listens so well and is funny and charming and loves to have books read to him and so on.
He must be saving up all his goodwill for school. And using up every last drop of it there. Or they flat mistook us for some other kid's parents. We smiled and thanked them and slowly backed out of the class.
