Sport, yes, it's always a shock to men when a woman can hold their own in a sport conversation. So yes, you're right there.<br /><br />I remember many years ago sitting at Friday arvo beers and there were a lot of the men having their first child and the discussion turned to childbirth. I learned things about men that I've never forgotten. It was a revelation to see how distressing these men found childbirth and the way doctors treated their wives. I sat quietly and when the drinks finished one poor bloke realised I was there. He almost died. But that's a conversation I wouldn't have missed for the world. I loved every second of that afternoon and when they realised that, they stopped worrying. I hope they went home and told their wives their fears and concerns too.<br /><br />Yep, cut the bullshit and talk - or listen. It's amazing what you can learn.<br /><br />Thanks, Lily.<br /><br />Cate xoxoCate Ellinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485246061618081743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289867951399005412.post-40771757347801131132015-09-25T00:04:34.851+10:002015-09-25T00:04:34.851+10:00I don't know about you, but I think my brain j...I don't know about you, but I think my brain just exploded. I'm very often happiest talking to blokes, usually about footy or cricket. You love your sport too and I think it gives you a common denominator and yes, cut through the bullshit and just talk.
