Last night I was on FB, W came in the room, and I didn't hear her. She asked what I was doing, I told her I was keeping up with some friends.
w: Where did you meet these friends? me: On-line. w: They are all women. (That's not true, though there are certainly a lot of them.) me: I met them on a site to try to help M's. w: How do you know they are what they say they are? me: They could all be lying. w: I'm not sure I'd talk about M trouble to strangers on-line. You should think about your motives. me: OK. What did you want? (She had a catalog in her hand, clearly came in to ask a question.)
For being completely shocked when she snuck up (not on purpose, just the way it was) behind me, I thought I reacted pretty well. At least I didn't jump up to the ceiling! And maybe it got her thinking some more.
