Diane: My mother complains that my father doesn’t ever tell her he loves her and doesn’t try to understand her.
Jackie: That’s funny. My mother says that my Dad never hugs or says anything kind & loving to her.
Diane: My Dad says my Mother is too sensitive & doesn’t understand the stress he has from work: also he claims that in order to keep his body in shape he has rush to the gym once he gets home from work & he has no time for that nonsense.
Jackie: My Dad says my Mother is too sentimental & emotional and doesn’t think rationally about things. I don’t think they get along too well.
Diane: I think my Dad & Mom don’t get along either. Why is it that adult men & women don’t get along with each other?
Jackie: I think they are aliens -- extraterrestrials from other planets. Actually women come from a different planet than men.
Diane: That makes a lot of sense! They are so different from each other. I’ve realized that all of my friends have told me that their parents don’t get along. Also adults are so different from us; they have to be aliens there is no other explanation.
Jackie: Yes, I agree but we’ve got to be careful because they don’t want us to know, it’s like a secret. I heard my mother once tell a friend that men come from Mars & women come from Venus.
