Try It, You'll Like It

The world is made up of all kinds of people.  Sometimes you meet people you have lots in common with.  Others you meet won't share a single interest.  Families are the same way.  Not everyone likes everything.  Honestly, if we all did, life would be boring.  But when you surround yourself with people with unique intrestes, you may just find something that you like too.  W introduced us to Nascar and the Eagles, H has expanded my Itunes library (which I thought was already diverse) and Jeff has introduced all of us to all things technical.  When we find something we like, we try to expose the boys to it...just to give them the opportunity to see if they have an interest.

In true teen fashion, some things are just a definate "no" with the boys.  They don't have an interest in scrapbooking with me, they don't like home improvement projects and gardening is lost on both of them.  But we always have TV shows, right?  Cooking, mysteries, history, reality...you name it, we've exposed them to it all - including Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  H was sold on his first episode and W...well, he decided about 3 minutes into the first episode that he wasn't intersted in a teen girl beating up on vampires and zombies.  Ok, so not everyone will like everything.  Seven seasons later, H, Jeff and I were in love with it and W still couldn't be bothered.

So imagine my surprise when W came in today, all excited and ready so show me what he was so thrilled about.  I followed to the bonus room, only to find the intro to the Call to Duty Zombie Map playing for me.  "Look Mom, it's Buffy!  And she's so cool!"  He's been playing her character all day and now would like to watch the series.  Where was he last summer when I begged him to, lol?  So in the interest of family bonding time, we'll start it all again.  And once per show, I vow to remind W to give things a chance - you may just find out that you like them.
