Input: Text: i'm quiet and socially awkward. my daughter is starting kindergarten next week and the school scheduled a playdate for all the kindergarteners at a local park so they could get to know each other before school starts. my daughter is an only child and we're new in town, so she doesn't have a lot of kids to play with. she's made some friends at preschool, but now she has to leave them behind and start all over again in k-5. one of my biggest fears is that my awkwardness will screw up her social opportunities. so far, she seems to be really good at making friends. when we go to the park, she picks out kids that look cool, and even if they're a couple of ten year-old-boys that don't understand why a little five-year-old girl is following them around, she'll end up winning them over. i'm always really proud of her.




so, we get to the park and this very nice looking asian lady in a straw hat sits down next to me and starts up a conversation. our kids aren't in the same class, and we quickly run out of things to say. she asks me if i have a church, and hopes that she's not being presumptuous. i assure her that she isn't and explain that i grew up very religious and went to christian schools, but i'm not religious anymore. she wants to know why. i tell her i'm not sure how to summarize my reasons, but she persists. she wants to know if i have a problem with jesus specifically. i'm a little thrown off, and the whole direction of the conversation just doesn't seem appropriate for the setting. i mumble something about having a problem with faith or believing in things without evidence, expecting her to just smile and change the subject, but she has her opening. she tells me that faith is a part of everyday life, and that we currently have faith that the bench we're sitting on will hold us up. this is where i should have said, "sorry, i'm just not religious anymore, but thank you for inviting me to your church." but irl i'm stupid, so explained that we can see the legs on the bench and know how benches work. we know how most things in the physical world work, and living in it doesn't require faith. she concedes, but then comes back with something about having been to israel and read books by non-christian authors about history. in hindsight, i think she was trying to say that jesus had been a real guy that really walked the earth, but i wasn't following her at the time. she tells me that we know enough to know that *it* (christianity?) is true, and so it doesn't require much faith. she's being very persistent, and i'm starting to feel annoyed and uncomfortable. it's obvious to me now that i should've been like, "cool, cool," and just stopped responding. but instead, i blurted out some humanist gibberish - something like, "i want to be a good person, and i don't think we need extrinsic motivations for being good. if i'm motivated by the threat of hell or the promise of heaven, then i'm not truly moral." i don't know how good that argument is, but i do know that i'm a moron for getting myself into this with a stranger at the park. i look up and there's another mom giving me the evil eye. i was basically implying that christian morality is shit and i'm way too good for it. it did end the conversation, but in the worst possible way. this lady, who thinks sitting on a park bench is an act of faith, suddenly needed to get back home. she had definitely understood the holier-than-thou-ness of what i said, and i think it was kind of a disorienting role reversal. so i was able to prove that there's no bigger sanctimonious asshole than a former christian.




 




but that's not even the end of it. my daughter ends up making friends with a little girl who wants to get our phone number. she brings her mom over and we exchange numbers. this little girl is actually in my daughter's class, and i'm really happy that they've hit it off. the mom then introduces me to her husband and friend. the husband leaves to load the kids up in the car. i recognize her husband from the ice cream shop near by. we were there like a week ago and i just happen to remember him because he had a baby and what seemed like a bunch of other small children with him. it seemed like a lot for one parent to handle, and i sypathized. anyway, i mentioned that i remembered him from the ice cream shop because he seemed like such a good dad. the mom said, "he *is* a good dad!" and i continued, "and then i saw him on meet-the-teacher night, and i was like, there's that good dad again." it was quiet. i'm a woman, by the way. that seems relevant to the story. and meet-the-teacher night is when you go see the classroom and teacher for the first time. so it's a small classroom, and i recognized the guy. he seemed to recognize me too, or looked at me like i was familiar or something. the population of our city is well over 900k, and i remembered seeing her husband twice in the last week or so. i might as well have said, "i stalk and lust after your husband." that's how it was interpreted. i'm happily married and her husband is like an average, middle-aged guy. he really just stood out as one man doing a heroic parenting job at the ice cream shop. i can't imagine having a whole brood of children and having to single handedly take them places. but this lady and her friend now think i'm like a young, hussy single-mom on the lookout for a good dad or something. i hate everything i say to people. 




**tl;dr my kid really needs to make new friends, and i skillfully alienated every parent i met at her kindergarten meet up.**
