Sitting on the couch today, I realized that I was alone on the three seater couch while the two guys sat on the cozy love seat. I also realized that I was the only one watching Without a Paddle while these two pretty much cuddled while each played their respective video games. Watching their interaction, I came to realize the level of guy (appropriate) intimacy that these two have developed and, I have to admit, I was a little jealous. It's that kind of boy bond that women don't really get... just like the girl bond that develops between females that guys don't get. The only problem with this is that I am the only female in the house.
Jealousy and feelings of being left out aside (I don't actually want to participate in discussions on the virtues of portable gaming systems), I am thankful for the boy bond. I am grateful that these two have so many things in common, that I can trust that my child is happy and safe when out with the paramedic doing things they both love and that they always remember to bring me home a Coke slurpee.
Having said that, I cannot wait until my Jazzy dog and I are under the same roof again so I'm not the only female in the house... too bad she doesn't get a vote for the movies we watch.
