Internet home schooling and social isolation did a lot of damage to our kids that we won’t truly realize for years to come. Even Elliott has some simple social anxieties that would have been unheard in kids when I grew up. Today we were at a farmers market and the Hutterites always have baking and fresh donuts to sell. They picked some cookies and a loaf cheddar dill bread and walked away. I grumbled usual “I can’t believe you never get the donuts” Tamara “there just plain, not really my thing”. Elliott “I didnt want to have to pay for it” the change from their purchase was $2, which happens to be the cost of a donut. I hand it to him and say go get one. I look over a couple minutes later and he’s standing so far back the lady doesn’t even notice him, he wouldn’t ask for one until I walked over.
