Smile and wave, Mark; smile and wave. Don't explain, don't defend.
You're right. You're right. Unh-hunh. I hear you. I hear you say that's your point of view. If you feel that I'm prying into your private life, then I'm happy to apologize -- I certainly didn't intend for it to seem that way. I just hope you have productive and satisfying days is all -- after all, the happier you are, the happier the children are. But if you prefer I not ask, I respect that and I'm happy to stop. Am I pursuing you? I've heard you say you want a divorce. I accept that this is your preference. What I'm pursuing is a good relationship with my children regardless of what's happened between us, and -- uh-oh, there goes the egg timer/car alarm/call-waiting/mobile/SMS/computer crashing -- have to go now, cheerie-bye!
