If they ask, I am going to talk.

While some may prefer not to talk, I am not that way. I am an outgoing person, and it is not in my nature to not answer or short answer when asked.

But, that is not being THAT parent. That seems to be a pretty balanced approach. I wouldn't think you were out there telling everyone you ran into how great your son is, unsolicited and ad nauseum.
