Know It All
Husband knows more fun facts than he knows what to do with. Wife doesn’t entirely believe they are true and rarely remembers the so-called fun fact. Listen in to the banter and who knows? You might even learn something that’ll make you the next know it all. Assuming you believe everything you hear.

Superstitions always make for some great story telling. Some are made up, some we think we can trace back, and many are what my grandma used to pass down. Those are my favorites. Who knew poop was good luck?

But, don't forget, just because the fact seems amazingly factual, you may want to double check here and there before you retell it a party... Spoiler a...
Fun facts and random stuff have a lot in common, they are often "facts" that are easy to forget, OR they are stuck with you forever. Like an ear worm. Gary knows a lot about a lot, and Kristi tends to forget the minute he tells her. Listen in on the banter that occurs when a husband and wife don't always see eye to eye on the randomness. Like, what is an angstrom and the debate on whether or not it's party fodde...
