A weekend drive on an unseasonably warm day in November, offers many observations. Amidst the usual road rage, loud stereo systems, and careless cell phone talking drivers, one may witness a quiet show of male bonding.
I am referring to the subtle hand gestures shared between motorcyclists. The inconspicuous wave they offer one another as they pass by. It is not because they actually know each other. They are simply acknowledging hey fellow biker, I am a biker too let's wave and show our unity. Have a nice day.
It's a lot like the mom-look. You know the mom look, The look moms give to one another, to show they understand. Like the mom in Target whose toddler cries from the toy aisle all the way up to the cash register, and continues to cry as a frustrated mom desperately waits for her caffeine fix at the in-store Starbucks. The look you give her that says, I have so been there, I totally understand. and it's okay.
A little empathy can go a long way.
Moms need to stick together, don't judge, just smile a knowing glance the next time you see her.
Remember you've been there or you soon will be.
