We were discussing a political cartoon, and had differing views. She said, "You didn't see the same one I did."
And she's right.
I am prepared to say literally.
Sex was (broadly) the issue of the cartoon. I am a boy; she is a girl. Between us, we have over 60 years of conditioning and baggage about this societally-loaded and too-often divisive topic.
She saw things I could not perceive. My perspective on things was not hers.
It was the same image, but we did not see the same cartoon.
