My wife once asked me how long can fish breathe under water for.

I baffled mine by asking her: "if fish breathe by absorbing oxygen from water, and water is one third made up of Hydrogen, why don't fish constantly blow out a stream of hydrogen bubbles, or balloon up and float away into the air?"

Turns out my wife does not know everything... shocked !!!
 
My Mrs isn't bad at general knowledge but has some odd shocking gaps in it which often completely astound me.

I remember when we first started dating she told me she'd never heard of "a christmas carol" and even after I told her it was "the scrooge story" still said she didn't really know what it was. Which triggered, from my perspective, a bizarre debate about whether most adults would know what is.

Ended up making a bet that if she texted her mates (all have degrees) most would have heard of it. The first one to reply also claimed they didn't really know what it was 😳

I was beginning to wonder if I'd wandered into a parallel universe or something!
 
“You’ll never guess what happened “

Also, you’ll never guess who I bumped into or guess what such and such said today.

You’re right, not if you don’t tell me I won’t and if I start listing the options you’ll think I’m taking the pee.
 
Now ex wife once said to me ‘I don’t like songs I’ve not heard before’ I’m like ‘well even the songs you do know you must have heard for the first time at some point’ ??? She looked at me like I was mad and I distinctly remember thinking I’ve made a big mistake….

Watching a 6 nations rugby match a few years back my partner said "Jesus, he's a $hit brick house"
 
I convinced my now wife that people swim under mainland UK from one side to the other after she dropped the bombshell on me that she thought islands like the UK were just floating in the water.

She was amazed and asked how long it took etc (which in itself was worrying) and then I had to explain to her about tectonic plates and how land mass is formed etc.

The worst part about it is that shes a teacher!

Geography teacher?
 
When on holiday abroad, both of these in the same evening, whilst looking out over a harbour whilst having our meal.

* Do you think that is the same moon that my mam can see back home?

*which do you think they put in first the harbour or the sea ?
 
Pointing out the planet Venus in the night sky I was asked:

“And can they see us, too?”
