Grown men share lots of interests with 8yo boys

I work in the IT department, surrounded here in cubicle land by a variety of young men, all in their 20’s or 30’s, some married, but no kids.

Yesterday, they spent an hour talking about Spore, which is my 8yo son’s favorite, highly addictive video game right now.

Just now, they spent a good 15 minutes talking about praying mantises which they are keeping as pets, sharing all kinds of praying mantis facts with each other. My son’s 2nd grade class learned all about praying mantises a few months ago.

I think my 8yo would really love hanging out with these guys :-p I wonder if they would think that was cool or lame…
