Below you will read an exchange between my husband and me. It took place this morning. I was sitting in front of my computer and reflecting on how our little boy gets so angry when one of his toys breaks. He and I have discussed how he is actually sad, but it feels safer to be angry than to be sad, so he prefers anger. Just like most men. I started giggling.
Chip: What's funny?
Me: Men and their anger.
Chip: Why?
Me: I dunno, even from toddlerhood, it seems men are capable of one emotion: anger.
Chip: Yeah? And?
Me: When you're sad, you react with ANGER! Frustration? ANGER! Disappointment? ANGER! Stress? ANGER! Vulnerability? ANGER! Depression? ANGER!
Chip: Yep. And you wanna know why?
Me: Hm. Women?
Chip: You got it.
I thought so. I was just checking.
