I really don&#8217;t have a good answer except that it is part of growing up a boy. You just have to kiss the boo boo away. No help, I know!<\/p>\n<p>And they have to expend that energy. I suppose it is just so natural to use each other to spend that energy.<br \/>But I am just a girl, so what do I know?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That was my immediate answer.  But I really don&#8217;t have an answer&#8230; so feel free to add  your input.<\/p>\n<p>But tonight I drove into town to pick up my two oldest from playing a game of golf with another set of brothers.<br \/>They had a great game and a great time.  They were both in good spirits.  They were bantering back and forth.  I was waiting for the banter to turn ugly.<\/p>\n<p>Yet they seemed to be in total sync.  <\/p>\n<p>These are two of mine that wrestle all the time.  They are very physical.  It is a constant rumble and tumble that usually ends with someone hurt or in tears.<\/p>\n<p>Sammy:  You look like a dork.  You have chocolate on your face. ( They just had ice cream).<br \/>Tyler:  (Giggling&#8230;)  I have a whole meal, including appetizers and dessert under my wire (of his braces).<\/p>\n<p>I am grossed out, of course.  They are dying of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>I am total enthralled.  They seem to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">like<\/span> each other at this moment in time.<\/p>\n<p>As I am observing this, I think, O.K.  may that wrestling and beating each other up is actually a love language?!!!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it is a language that some brothers share.
