Have a misunderstanding


(From http://www.amazon.com/METHODISMS-FOUNDER-Wesley-believed-ANGELS/dp/1604773014/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399995560&sr=8-1&keywords=Methodism%27s+Founder+John+Wesley+Believed+in+Angels)

Is it okay to say "Mike and I misunderstood" in place of "Mike and I had a misunderstanding"?

Don't you think "Mike and I misunderstood" should be "Mike and I misunderstood each other "? And I think we could say "Mike and I misunderstood each other", but not just "Mike and I misunderstood" in place of "Mike and I had a misunderstanding". Let's see what others say on that.
