Day 36 - Cars

I continue to struggle with feeling like I am not making a significant connection with Ben. He is fairly transparent and it is easy to tell when he is not excited about something. We will driving to the Library today and I was talking with him about this (not a new conversation). I told him I am open to exploring anything but I cannot figure out what he is currently interested in.

We drove for a while and he said, “Dad, you know what I think would be cool?”“What?” I asked with some anticipation.“I would like to know how a car works!”
I was a bit skeptical since he has never expressed any interest in this topic before. Still I contemplated what we could do as we drove. It would be a very interesting topic.

Once home he never spoke of it again. I will bring it up tomorrow but I am guessing he was just filling a silence.
