walk on by

On my way to baby massage which is held in the same room as the play group I was surprised to see people leaving with children. It struck me that the normal open play group was closed for this week and next.

So despite my advance "against the tide" and the looks of the departing parents, no one volunteered that the play group was closed.

Perhaps they knew that something was going on and didn't want to presume. I don't know. Perhaps they sent clear signals that something was amiss...I don't know. I know that no one vocally informed me. I still find that odd.

Some day I'm going to figure out these Swedes.
