Drawn to the familiar

Last weekend when we visited Pump It Up in Evansville, the first thing the boys were attracted to was the Cozy Coupes. Here they were in a room full of inflatable bouncy toys, and they chose the one toy they already have at home. Come to think of it, aren’t we all just like that? When we walk into a room full of strangers, why do we seek to find any familiar face? Why would we rather have a redundant conversation with someone we barely know, than to meet a stranger and possibly make a new terrific friend? I resolve to encourage the boys by word and example to seek out new experiences and friends every day.
