I had two conversations recently that were such a contrast that they made me laugh. One was with a recently married friend (all my married friends are in that category so it could be anyone) and a friend I used to live with:
Conversation with married friend: furniture, decorating, babies, prices of things, menus, our weddings, men (husbands)
Conversation with unmarried friend: school, summer, reminisce a bit, future plans, boys, things we should do this semester, roommates
It's funny to me how we talk as we go through different stages of life. I still have so many things in common with people who aren't married, but I associate with people who are on a common level now too. I remember my mom talking about things with her friends that I thought were way boring (furniture set-up? Who cared?) and now I find myself doing the same with my friends. I had an actual exciting conversation about Crock-Pots the other day.
It's kind of fun... I love that I'm not "past" that stage of life but that I can totally appreciate the newly married side of life and the not-married side.
ps- Carson bought our first piece of real furniture yesterday. And yes, I'm much more excited than I would have been a few months ago!
hee hee... tis true. I remember being a little girl at a baby shower, thinking "is this what moms enjoy talking about? Cleaning toilets and their kids?" oh how life changes... now i don't think i'll ever enjoy talking about cleaning toilets... but what i have talked about certainly has changed. As you know. ;-) love you!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean! And I wonder who that married friend was....that conversation sure sounds familiar... ;)
