Assessment Journal – Sixth Entry
Brothers laugh together, play together, and tease one another mercilessly. The two men I met today acted just like brothers as they were playing the Nintendo Wii. These two men, J.P. and Bernie, taunted each other as they demonstrated their Nintendo Wii Bowling skills. Bernie would make a sarcastic remark about J.P.’s “stellar” skills whenever he got a gutter ball. In return, J.P laughed heartily every time Bernie hit only one or two pins with the ball. It was intriguing and amusing to watch these two elderly men go back and forth, mocking each other, as if they were young boys again. Also, whenever something comical would happen on the game screen, or with another player, these two men would laugh their deep, jovial laughs. They would glance at each other, curve the corners of their mouths into the smallest of smiles, and burst out laughing at the same second. They would laugh and laugh until they were gasping for breath, their faces light up with delight. J.P. and Bernie are two people who share a unique, brotherly bond.
