Highs, Lows, and Buffalos

What do kids choose to share with their parents about their camp experience?  Most kids immediately share about their accomplishments ("I got up on water skis!"), the fun, and the new friends they made.
 Others focus on a negative event with another camper ("Johnny wouldn't play the card game I wanted to play").

How do people communicate and connect with one another?   Some people seem to connect with others through negative events, complaining, and sharing the "drama" in their lives.
