Someone asked me last weekend if my daughter was looking forward to going back to school as part of the partial reopening for children with special needs. No, I told them, we haven t breathed a word of it to her, and we wouldn t be until we were heading out the door to bring her there. Or, perhaps, at the school gate. Or, just to be on the safe side, actually in the classroom.

Someone comes at you with an upbeat isn t it great? and you immediately slap it down with the response that you ll believe it when you see it. All too easily, you can seem negative and churlish. Or, worse again, ungrateful. Or, worst of all, impossible to please.
