The Irrelevant Parent

Hello. To most people I'm my daughter's or son's dad. I do not have a name because I'm Irrelevant.
Having said that, they are in the same boat. I know the parent's of other kids as someone's dad or mom. It's tough enough remembering the kids' names.
We parents still talk to each other. We just don't know each others' names. And if someone did tell me their name, I'd forget it. And they would forget mine too.
Our talks are about anything except names. And when I get home and remember a conversation, I have no idea who said it.
Ironic, huh? That I can respect people yet do a seemingly disrespectful thing like not ask for their names? I believe it's true. Also, I believe their ideas have a better chance of staying with me because they're anonymous. I'm more open-minded because their ideas do not have an identity. This fascinates me.
Try to get to know someone on the inside without knowing their identity. It's a great experience.

Regards,
Irrelevant
