Crockpots and Spaghetti

This past weekend I visited the girls and while we were at Whitney's house, pure wisdom was spoken. Wisdom that rings so true that Mary Engelbreit or an ecard should say it!

We were sitting around the table doing what us girls do best, eating and dissecting our lives, relationships, work, and anything in between. In our conversation, Whitney told us about a presenter she heard recently who said men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti. Men are like waffles because everything is in a box. Everything is separate and is its own entity. Whereas, women are more like spaghetti because everything is intertwined together. Women relate everything together and know the sum is greater than the parts. After she said this, there was a round of umm hmms and head nodding from all of us.

After we agreed we were in deed like spaghetti, we were discussing how we handle arguments with our boys. Lauren spoke the truth and Whitney and I listened intently. She said that men are like skillets. They get hot and mad real quick but then are quick to cool down. Whereas, some women are like crockpots. You make us hot and mad and we will simmer and stay warm for a good 8+ hours. Lauren and I fall into the crockpot category. We know we stew and stay upset for at least a day and then we are over it.

Conversations like this make me thankful to have the best girlfriends because we can laugh with one another and have a good time together. We relate to one another even though we are all at the same but different stages in our lives. We can be crockpots and spaghetti together!

This one won't be a waffle!
