Of Men and Waffles

"Men are like waffles, Mom," Michael explained.
"They are able to compartmentalize situations that come up in life and deal with them one little square at a time.
Women are like spaghetti. One upset strand of spaghetti affects every other strand in their pile of pasta."

I thought about this.
I watched my husband and son's and other men in my life do the waffley thing.
Then a situation arose and I got angry.
But, I had to pull it together because I couldn't allow my one upset noodle to
affect the rest of my life and I had to change-fast.
I thought,"I will think like a man!"
And I did.
I put the anger back into my little waffle square
and took a bite out of the next little square.
It was good and I functioned well.

I was pretty impressed with this whole waffle idea.
I am going to think like a man more often.
