Bonding

Bonding....

It seems that bonding, be it men
or women, for the most part is the
same. Even with children. It means
sharing time, and conversation with
each other.

Men it is usually sports. Be it ball
games in the living room or stadium,
or hunting or fishing. Some times in
a bar having a beer together. Doing
something... being together..... talking
and some times not talking much.
While most women think that all men
talk about is sex, I understand that is
a myth. That it is usually about the
sport, or cars, or wives, or kids, or
just life itself. Unless they are political
inclined, then it can be that, which can
unbond them. Or it is the headlines of
the day.

Women it is usually, going to a spa
together. Or a coffee klatch either at
someone's house or at a restaurant.
Some even go to bars, for a night out
with the girls. Men think that women
talk about kids, and clothes and make
up. And that can be true. But most
talk about life, sex, their husbands,
their jobs, and what is unfair about
life. But hardly ever about politics.

There are men and even women who
will take their children to games,
fishing, shopping, camping and talk
with their kids. Mostly letting the kid
talk. Lot of parents don't know how to
talk to their kids about serious stuff.
So the conversation starts around
what ever they are doing.

They say the best way to loosen up
a kid to talk, is to play catch. I wonder,
does the now generation play catch
with their parents? They seem to be
more into computers and games.
Isolating themselves at times at the
computer. Playing games like
Runscape, and the parent is watching
TV.
Wonder what would happen if the
satellites would shut down for a
week or two. But then it would cause
major problems in life, life of commerce.

But the funny bonding is between
two friends of any gender who are
working on a project together. Now
I am talking about really good friends.
One's who can badger back and forth
without taking offense.

You see, I listen to two really good friends
badger as they did a project in the past
week or so. And when I asked my Sweetie
if his feelings get hurt when this is going
on. He was completely surprised at my
remark. He said, we weren't badgering....
"we were bonding".. ....... which makes
me wonder... if some one where to over
hear us working on a project together,
and asked him the same thing.... would
he say we were just bonding? I sure hope
so. As some of our bonding gets kind of
heated. But neither of us are really mad
at the other, just opinionated.

Thank goodness for bonding...
Have a good weekend ....bonding
with some one...
Wonder if Sweetie would like to play catch...
