And I have to share Grin

Kids were talking about a boy in school who doesn’t believe in Father Christmas. DH said “some different religions celebrate different things - for example, Jewish people have The Holiday Armadillo” Grin

I could not stop laughing. He didn’t even remember that he’d got it from Friends! Grin

Honestly what an eejit. Anyone else care to share some daft beliefs? Doesn’t have to be from an adult as children are normally better with these Grin

I looove the holiday Armadillo. 😂😂😂

MamaLovesMango · 03/12/2018 18:23

That’s pure awesomeness. Holiday Armadillo. Did he tell you his logic?

On telling DH that I’m allergic to pineapple and sometimes a raw tomato can give me the same sensation in my mouth, he told me very seriously, with great authority, that it’s because they come from the same family of vegetable.

Hmm
DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 03/12/2018 18:24

Yes but are you Jewish @Theonewiththecat?!

😂😂😂 still giggling but internally as I think DH is a little embarrassed!

@MamaLovesMango he’d purely internalised a joke from Friends as truth! Except he didn’t remember it was from Friends!

I do love it when men speak bollocks with such authority Wink

I’m all for another Bank Holiday. Let’s start a petition for ‘Armadillo Day’ - I vote the nearest Monday to October 20th.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 03/12/2018 18:32

I agree Faded.

My husband did A full on comedy sketch for me about how some penguins could fly now and how jealous the other penguins were. I was laughing like mad, assuming he was taking the piss when it became apparent he really thought some penguins could fly. He’d seen it on TV. I was howling when I pointed out he’d seen it on April 1st... That was FAR funnier than his comedy act.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 03/12/2018 19:18

That’s brilliant! Grin

We were at the zoo once and looking at the alpacas. I told DH they were from the andes and he was suitably impressed by my alpaca specialist knowledge. Then I told him that they have hooves instead of handies and revealed my knowledge was from cbeebies.

I’m not judging him.

On safari, I rather excitedly pointed out the ‘gazebos’ to my husband. Quick as a flash, he asked if they were from B&Q or Homebase. The rest of the group roared laughing. Blush At least it was an icebreaker. Grin

My husband was giving a presentation a few years ago. I was lurking at the back, trying not to curl up at the edges every time he said ‘melamine’ rather than ‘melanin’.

BirthdayKake · 03/12/2018 19:29

Mine asked me if mice had tails the other day...

But what on earth did you mean to say?

Tissunnyupnorth · 03/12/2018 19:46

Gazelle?

Tissunnyupnorth got it in one. Grin

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 03/12/2018 20:03

Stealth that is class 😂

I remember talking confidently about something only to realise once someone asked a question that it was something similar gleaned from cbeebies.
