pause
having children helps social life so much. first of all, the kids bring you to some circles you would have never visit otherwise. then they are the subject you can always talk about. any awkward situation, any long pause – just mention something your child has done today. there must have been something funny or worth talking about. and you don’t have to think much, it is always on your mind. the conversation just naturally flows. if you are young, and have problems holding conversations, just get yourself a child. your life will be so easy. but until you do, what can you talk about? you can try talking about your parents, but god knows, there is nothing funny or worth mentioning in that department. and it’s never on your mind. so what do you talk about when the pause arrives? do you have a special topic for this case? do you hold the pause?

Yeah, I always envy my coworkers with children (or who are pregnant) because they always have a topic to talk about. All around me, people talk about babies. Babies who are teething, babies with pink-eye, babies who might be born enormous due to too much prenatal sugar consumption. I don't mind listening...I love babies and baby stories. But it sucks that I don't have such a topic. Sometimes I talk to my coworkers and wonder what we ever talked about before they had babies.
I have to say, I got to experience what they have a little with my whole knee thing. When I had my crutches half the people in the department stopped by to see how I was, and in every meeting it turned into a topic of discussion. People I never talked to would say hello and discuss what happened. And it was very good. Conversations were easier, etc. Damn my leg for healing.
