DS answered the phone last night while I was cooking dinner. I couldn’t hear all that he was saying but eventually I figured out that he was giving his SAT scores to the caller. I quickly shook my head no and he told the caller that he couldn’t talk any longer and hung up. A few minutes later, a woman identifying herself as the original caller’s supervisor asked if I was DS’s mother and assured me that they were a legitimate market research organization. I thanked her for calling to reassure me but said that we didn’t wish to participate. Afterwards I felt like I might have overreacted. Your thoughts?
