Yeah I think you're right. I am glad I controlled my initial impulse to ask. I just smiled when she told me and wished her and her son luck with the new daycare.

It is crazy to feel rejected when I didn't even officially interview or ever show my daycare.

However....the more I think about it - the more relaxed I am about it. I can imagine it would have made a very bad bus stop run if she had come and interviewed and then didn't like it or if she joined the daycare and then things had gone sour.
