Clearly Your Husband’s Not A Scorpio
I thoroughly enjoy a cartoon my husband doesn’t, and I’ve gotten him to watch a few episodes with me. I’ve just told him about a piece of fan-made merch I’ve ordered and show him the item listing. The featured character is one he’s seen in the episodes we’ve watched.
Husband: *Reading aloud* “’I’ve had a real challenge of a day.’ I can see that, with the crab claws.”
Me: “The what?”
Husband: “Crab claws, ‘cause she’s a crab?”
Me: “I’m gonna repeat her name, okay?”
Husband: “Okay.”
Me: “Scorpia.”
Husband: *Moment of thought* “Lobster?”
Me: *Putting more emphasis on her name* “Scorpia. What do you think she is?”
My husband stares at me blankly, clearly not understanding just what my point is.
Me: “Scorpia?! SCORPION?!”
Husband: *After another moment of thought* “Wow, I’m a f****** idiot.”
I have no idea what the heck kind of crab he thought a lady named Scorpia was. I’m not letting him live this down any time soon, playfully, of course.
