So, this silly exchange is typical of our marriage. :🩷😏

Husband: What’s her name — the wife — Monkey face? You’re a monkey face.

Me: Joan something. Gone With The Wind — Melanie’s sister.

Husband: Vivien Leigh’s sister?

Me: Are you serious?! Vivien was SCARLET O’HARA! No, the other one. Melanie. Olivia DeHavilland! She was Joan’s sister. Joan Fontaine!

Husband: Who’s Joan Fontaine?

Me: You asked who Cary Grant’s wife is. Monkey face is Joan Fontaine, Olivia DeHavilland’s sister.

Husband: You mean Vivien Leigh’s sister.

Me: Are you trolling me?

Husband: Of course. 😏

Me: I think Joan won an Oscar for Suspicion.

Husband: Look it up.

Me: You look it up. You have IMDB open.

Me again: Well?

Husband: What?

Me: Did she win for Suspicion?

Husband: I don’t know. I’m on Reddit.

Husband again: Is this movie from the 30s or 40s?

Me: It’s got to be late 30s or early 40s. (Looks it up on IMDB). Yep. It’s 1941.

Husband: How did you know?

Me: It was her eyebrows.

Husband (laughing): Eyebrow dating! It’s too bad that’s a useless skill.

Me: I know. We have a lot of useless skills.

Husband: Indeed.

Me: Okay. How far do we need to rewind?

Husband (shrugs): Back to the big smooch, I think.

Me: Can we pay attention now?

Husband: We can try.
