Men really are from Mars and women really are from Venus.

This is probably going to be one of those conversations that isn't very funny after the fact, but it sure cracked us up at the time...

Mike came home right before dinnertime and said he needed to cut the grass. Since dinner was so close to being ready there was a great debate about whether or not he was going to do it before eating, as well as discussion on whether or not my dad could cut the grass and help out in that way. Mike decided to eat dinner first, and figure out the rest later.

We served spaghetti and once everyone was seated and the blessing was said we began eating. A few minutes into the meal Dad said to Mike,"Do you cut it side to side or front to back, or do you alternate?"

Mike, cutting his pasta, responded promptly,"I tend to cut side to side because it's shorter, but sometimes I alternate..."

I thought,"Isn't it the same all the way around? It's kind of a circle."

Right about then my mom and I looked at each other quizzically. We started giggling because just then we realized that they were talking about cutting the grass, not the spaghetti, but we both thought they were talking about the pasta. I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of my dad asking Mike if he cut his spaghetti side to side or front to back.

Mike, of course, knew exactly what my dad was talking about.

I'm still chuckling.

This is a pretty funny conversation! Although, I'm wondering why anyone is cutting spaghetti! ;-)
