We live not far from where I grew up (I went to the same primary school as the offspring) – although I have lived further away, this felt like the right place to raise a family, not least because my mum lives close by. <\/p>\n
Recently I've spotted three women round about who I recognise. At first I struggled to place them, but then I clicked. They were in my class at primary school! <\/p>\n
One of them was one of my 'best friends'. One of them didn't invite me to her birthday party. And one of them I didn't play with very much, but I always liked. <\/p>\n
I didn't stay in touch with anyone from primary school, because we all went to completely different secondaries. And let's face it, I'm really not the same person now as I was at 11. <\/p>\n
But it feels a bit weird. When I see these women on the street, we sort of avoid eye contact, but I'm pretty sure they must recognise me too. We're the same age, we obviously have a fair bit in common. I feel like I should say something. Does the fact we last spoke to each other 30something years ago make it a bit pointless? What would you do? <\/p>\n
