How To Tell The Kids

I asked her why she was so stressed and she just shot back an angry "Isn't it obvious?"

"Yep, but that's why I don't watch the news anymore: it was doing the same thing to me" (subtext: I can't read your mind).

Being a good DBer, I didn't respond right away. Then I forgot about it and didn't respond at all. Does this kind of note require any sort of reply?

No question asked, no reply required. A simple, thanks for leaving the stuff in the foyer after you picked it up is good manners. Momma didn't raise no fool.

Do I just wait for her to start asking about the R or what?

If she's being nice, try flirting with her. How much more can she shoot you down?

By flirting, I mean playful teasing or a well placed compliment. Polish yer skillz
