Pam,
I love the explanation about all the toys tossed out of the pram. Does not matter what country you may have learned this from. I think I may have to use it myself. I can brag; I learned this from a friend in Australia....

You just go in on Thursday with your head held high and show you are ready for whatever your role may be. You may even have to be the adult picking up some of the toys these childish antics have displayed.
