I think once people have their own children, it connects them in ways they could not have imagined.  Brent had a friend over yesterday and even though we hadn’t met, the first thing he did was notice that my kids were watching Spy Kids.  He immediately started talking about the new Spy Kids that was coming out (he has his own children in similar ages to my kids) and boom.  instant friends.  I feel the same way when I’m on a photo shoot.  First some small talk, maybe some high-fives and the next thing you know I’m singing the theme song to Dora.

I’m telling you, kids are the universal language of all parents.
