Klara finally agreed to go to a friend’s place to play without demanding that I stay there while she plays. “What is it, a “punish Mamma activity?” I asked her. It’s torture to sit there for 3 hours, trying to come up with things to say to the other mom.
So I left and went to read in a café (Helen Garner’s anti-#MeToo book finally arrived!), telling Klara that if she wants to leave, she should ask the friend’s mom to take a picture of her and send to me. Klara is very polite, and would never tell an adult straight out that she doesn’t like it at their place and wants to go. But moms love to take pictures, and this would be a great way to get across a secret message to me.

That’s a good codeword! I’ll file that one away for later.
