Brad and I were just finishing up an animated hour-long conversation about the different ways men think versus women. We talked about why it is that women think they're just trying to impart helpful information, but men feel like they're being criticized and/or nagged. We talked about how I like to learn by having someone tell me what to do while I try to do it, versus he likes to learn by having someone show him what to do and then leave him to try it for himself. His theory was that most of these differences come from the basic difference in the way men tend to think versus how women tend to think. Men tend to think in a linear mode, and women tend to multitask.

As the conversation started to die down, and we were laughing and getting ready to leave the restaurant, I looked down and realized I'd been making a paper airplane out of the little paper that comes wrapped around the napkin and silverware.

"Here, I made you a paper airplane," I said and offered it to him.

We both just looked at each other for a second and then burst into laughter. "I guess we should probably end this conversation on this note, now that I just proved your point without even realizing it."
