Tonight Oldest Son and I are finishing dinner and I am peppering him with suggestions for the weekend:
Me nicely "How about you ....?"
Me trying again "What about you ...."
Me more persistently "You can ...."
Me reaching "I can invite ..."
Oldest Son responds with sly grin but completely serious "This is the problem with extroverted people."
I laugh and sincerely reply "You are so right."
Pause in the conversation ...
Me asking Oldest Son "How about we go to a movie this weekend?"
Lucky extroverted me gets to hang out with my favorite introvert. Love this kid who just so happens to be allot like my Commuter Husband - go figure.
Hmmmm .... LATE BREAKING UPDATE: Apparently when teen introverts get invited somewhere by a teen friend, they go. So Commuter Husband (the adult introvert) Date Night it is! Still Lucky Me.
Can relate...love the beauty of their inner worlds...if you haven't already, check out the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain sometime...worth it-- SC
