(like 40+%) My home is gf because my 3 daughters and I are celiac. my husband eats gf at home. my daughters are *extremely* sensitive, and need to have people wash their hands after eating bread, as the transfer of crumbs can make them ill. In the past 4 years I've realized that some people are open to chatting and some aren't. Reading body language helps me decide what to say. It's just like telling people why I'm sitting on my butt rather than running in the water with my kids - some people are more open to conversations.

In the past 4 years I’ve realized that some people are open to chatting and some aren’t. Reading body language helps me decide what to say. It’s just like telling people why I’m sitting on my butt rather than running in the water with my kids - some people are more open to conversations.
