To Catch a Friend
Listen
by Joey Bokor
Thing is, they weren't going after fish. They were trying to reel in some new friends. Recently, on our vacation in the Bahamas, we found ourselves most evenings in the pool near where we were staying. It was a quiet section of the resort, so it worked for grandparents, parents and kids alike. After lots of daily activities it was nice to unwind in a quiet atmosphere. The girls, however, are always on the prowl, looking for new friends. It's funny how little kids can be. They walk up to another kid, ask their age (they never ask for a name first, just age) and then say 'Do you want to play with me?'. I told Kim that the next time we go somewhere, we just need to walk up to strangers and ask the same thing. I have a feeling we'd get a lot of strange looks.
I'm not sure the Friend Trap ever actually worked. And the thing is, they didn't need it. Every pool, slide, lagoon, restaurant and even at the airport waiting to go home, they made a new friend. It's funny how quickly kid's become friends too. With one little girl, I heard the following conversation:
'Where are you sleeping?' And with some jumping, clapping and excited exclamations, Maddy and the little girl were immediate best friends. Finding friends may not be as easy as fishing, and we don't all have a knack for making friends quickly. Maybe that's why some of us love our plants so much . . ., but really, Abby and Maddy showed us it isn't that hard. Put a smile on your face, be ready to have a little fun and a connection can come from anywhere and with anyone. So, go ahead and set a trap. You never know who you might catch. |
