My globe-trotting daughter has learned it is best to not tell her mother details of stressful situations while overseas until after her return. That might mean months or years later. Like car accidents in China. Or getting lost in Austria.
Then she can tell the story and we can share our getting lost stories and we can all laugh and be happy that we are safely together once again. And Mother doesn’t say, “I’m never letting you out of sight again!”
