My Family And Other (Fake) Animals
(This conversation happens with my now ex-in-laws at their place. We’ve been talking about odd animals and I mention narwhals.)
Wife: “What the h*** is a narwhal?”
Me: “It’s a whale that lives in the polar region with a huge bone spike on its nose, like a unicorn, but bigger and real.”
Wife: “Well I’ve never heard of it. No animal has a horn like a unicorn. You’re just wrong.”
Mother-in-law: “I agree. No animal would have something like that, especially not an animal that lives in the water; there’s just no need for it. You must be mistaken.”
Me: “Okay, I’ll prove I’m not making this up…”
(I hop on the computer and pull pictures and info on the narwhal.)
Wife: “Okay, well maybe you are right, then.”
(At this point my grandmother-in-law walks over.)
Grandmother-in-law: “Are they pictures of the sea unicorns?”
Me: “Thank you! Someone else who knows about this animal.”
Grandmother-in-law: “Oh, no, honey. They’re not real. They’re make-believe, like unicorns.”
Wife and Mother-in-law: “See! I knew you were wrong!”
Wife: “God, you can be so stupid some times. Believing in fake animals!”
