Bowling Alone

Do you know what bowling is? It's a game where you roll a big ball in a big room with lots of pins (like tall sticks) at the end. When you knock down all the pins, you get to do a happy dance!

Now, "Bowling Alone" is a phrase that means people are playing bowling all by themselves instead of playing with friends or family. It's like going to play the game without any other people to join you.

This might sound sad, but it's actually a big deal because it means people are spending less time together in general. They are doing activities like watching TV or playing video games by themselves instead of playing with other people.

When people don't spend time together, they don't get to know each other very well or make new friends. This can make them feel lonely or disconnected from their community. It's important to spend time with other people and build connections to feel happier and healthier. So, we should try to go bowling with friends and family to make happy memories and build stronger relationships.
