    Default What’s the Last “New” Thing You Learned About Your Significant Other?

    Three years of friendship, one and a half years of dating, and six years of marriage and Suzannah still manages to surprise me.

    We were in the car yesterday, heading back from the beach (more on that later). Tot was a bit fussy so I asked if she wanted to listen to some music. As I turned the knob, Suzannah said “Oh wait, stop here, I love this song!”

    It was Metal. Van Halen to be exact.

    My Abba listening, Celine Dion album-owning, Glade-Plugin sniffing wife is into Van Halen. Somehow, this never came up.

    She was even banging her head in rhythm at one point!

    I suppose it was fair turnabout for my new fact for her. Yesterday was the first time I’d ever been to a co-ed beach. Every. I’m 27.

    So what was the last new factoid you learned about your partner?

    Last week I found out my wife (of 14 years) operated a fork lift while working her way through college.

    And for some reason, when I found out, I was simultaneously jealous and turned-on . . . . .

    Somehow we have been together for a couple of years and surrounded by comics and fan stuff, even gone to conventions together, and yet I never knew about Julie's fondness for the Fantastic Four. I was surprised and delighted to learn, when we first saw the movie trailer, that Julie was a big fan of the FF and had been since the days of the 1967 cartoons. Cei-U had a bunch of those same cartoons that he screened for us over New Year's, to my bride's delight. Knowing this was enough to get me looking, and we recently acquired an animated 1967 FF bootleg DVD of our own which we are enjoying immensely.

    Fascinating. I just thought since you lived in New York, you must've set foot on Coney Island or something at least once.

    She surprised me recently by the way she expressed her religious beliefs.

    That's the best way I could think of to phrase that.
    Please pardon any aggressive auto-correct feature typos.

    So she's never yelled "OH GAHD" before?

    Sorry, might have stepped over a line there.


    Seriously though, care to elaborate?
