“I can’t decide what amused her more… the effort I put into the ruse or the fact that I ended up proving her right in the process. […She said] ‘Next time you can save $100 and just assume you’re wrong.’”
It’s not as uncommon as sitcoms make it seem. My wife–brilliant, hilarious, way smarter and better at things than I am–would probably think it was hilarious, too. It wouldn’t work for our situation (we got together too early in life for it to be believable), but I wouldn’t expect any backlash.
My wife found out last year that her mom cheated and that her dad was not her biological dad. He didn’t know either. 3 months later he died. Then when she found her biological dad, he had just died too. Then her mom got divorced from her current husband.
Ain’t NO way am I fucking around with that right now.
Actually it went really well. The wife thought it was hilarious, according to the husband.
I’ll be damned. He found someone to match his crazy.

I would expect payback in-kind, though.

Whoa. Yep, I’d call that…like, the dictionary definition of reading the room. Yikes.
