Spaghetti

"So Grandmother (Who is always teaching the kids something. Always. Just ask them.) began to explain that boys brains are like boxes that open and close. Everything has it's own box. Only one box is open at a time. No box touches any other box. And they even have a NOTHING box (I'm so jealous of that.). They can open and close those boxes at will. When they are thinking about "work", they aren't thinking about "home". But they can drive home and close the "work" box and open the "home" box.

Girls, on the other hand, have brains like spaghetti (which my boys found HYSTERICAL) and each thing is like a string that touches every other string. It's all there. All the time. Connected to everything else. The only time something is "out" of our thinking is when it's solved or finished or taken care of. Otherwise, it's there. Always there...

She also told them that when you ask a guy what he's thinking about and he says, "Nothing," he means it. I added that when you ask a girl what she's thinking about and she says, "Nothing," she's probably mad at you."  :)

Reading this made me laugh, and I think it's completely true.  That's it for today.
