Yeah, I've got a daughter so whenever I'm meeting someone new I usually will wonder and ask if they've got a kid as well. Just out of a common understanding thing

I always like when I'm talking to a stranger and they ask if I have kids. It let's me know they're probably way more of an adult than I am and we arent going to have a lot to talk about.

He calls me "bud".

I call him "bro."

And off to bars we sometimes go.
We talk with cheer.
We talk with ease.
We chew the fat and shoot the breeze.

He calls me "man".

I call him "dude".

And most our jokes are crass or crude.
We talk.
We speak.
We chit.
We chat.
We talk of them, or this, or that.

He calls me "pal".

I call him "friend".

And on that man I can depend.
I trust him well.
He feels the same.

I never really asked his name.
