“How was your day?”

“Good.”

“What did you do?”

“Nothing.”

This is the typical after school conversation between my daughter and I. She was pretty talkative through kindergarten. Then when first grade rolled around she stopped being so forthcoming. Last year, we literally had several of the conversations like above.  So imagine my surprise last night when she chatted non stop for about an hour. I mean she literally told me everything about the last few days and what was happening in the next few days.  She never stopped.  She talked the entire way home, and then when we got home, she asked if she could lay down with me so she could continue her story!  I know all about the kids at school. Who is friends with who. What activities they’ve done and will be doing in 3rd grade in the next few weeks.  It was so amazing.  Now I’m wondering….”What was wrong with my child last night?”
