Back when I was working in a corporate environment, I had a surreal water-cooler moment that has stuck with me many years later. I was making a coffee in our office kitchen and two men were in conversation by the water dispenser. They looked serious, their tone intense, each one nodding as the other explained his feelings. I resolved to finish and leave quickly lest I interrupt a deeply personal discussion about health, a death or perhaps a relationship problem. I tried not to listen in, but couldn’t help but hear snatches of their exchange
Agreed. And that so many people go to watch the games. My daughters follows it avidly. I wonder if girls had played when you were young would you have had more interest in playing football with your brothers ?!
Love this! Growing up a the middle child of two boys I was forced to play football and cricket or I’d have had no one to play with - I did grow to love and understand the rules but I was always in goal or fielding as my brothers got to kick balls at me or send me miles to collect their 6’s! I’m just so thrilled women play professionally now too!
Having lived with a sports fan most of my life I have become surprisingly knowledgeable purely through osmosis - but it has a huge social benefit even if you don’t know your offside rule from your elbow. Enjoying Home Truths!

No they don’t - you’re absolutely right. How stupid of me - my husband will be in despair🤣. Glad you enjoyed any way.
