I wouldn't say I'm the dullest pea in the pod, but I'm not exactly great at GK. I mean, yes, I'm a marketing post-grad, but I don't usually pay attention to the details which follow. For example, I couldn't care less whether Good Day biscuits belong to Brittania. I couldn't even be bothered to know if Good Day and Brittania are two different brands, or a sub-brand!
Blasphemous, I know, and that, too, I don't care!
The important thing is, and which I know for sure, is that I'm bright. If I like something, I'm not only good, I'm awesome at it! Nobody can beat me, fair and square, or even by the crooked finger method! Take writing for example. If I weren't so lazy, and found the time to complete my manuscripts, I'd be the number one writer in the world right now! Even if I say so myself... Sigh!
But I realized today, that it's important to show to the Hub-man that I am bright. I mean, how long has he known me? Four months? Five, at the most? And three out of those were spent being polite to each other, trying hard to get in each others' good books!
He knows I write. When he reads my blogs or novel write-ups, he gets hooked. Excited to read the next part. And he knows I'm witty, cool, bright. But when faced with a constant deluge of unawareness, just because I can't be bothered, is it possible he thinks me not smart..?
I left for work before him today, and as usual, dropped him a message to let him know that my wild-driving hadn't kill me yet. He replied after he reached work that his safe driving, despite the maniacal driving of others on the road, had reached him safely to work too.
As is his habit, he wished me a good day at work. In keeping with my new ideology, I replied, 'You have a good day too, and a Britannia after that!'
Yes, yes, don't get on my back! Good Day is a sub-brand of Britannia!! I know that now, because the Hub-man sent me a message telling me so right after! The worst thing is, he didn't reply when I dropped him a normal acknowledgement message first. What he did say in the message he sent (filled with funny smilies to soften the blow) was to change Britannia to Cream Crackers or Bourbon if I insisted on using the joke again (my ridiculous jokes bring the reason for his continual good-humored frustration). Why? Did he worry I might use the joke again, and it might result in somebody else ridiculing my lack of GK?
He was in one of 'those' phases again. You know, the 'stretching away' phase? Maybe that was what made it worse, I don't know... On the returning from the stretch, but on the stretch all the same! And it is possible this incident pushed him on the forward stretch again. Because, yes, when you think your partner's not smart enough, it can be a turn-off..
When you're smart, you gotta prove to 'em you're smart! Why behave stupid? Or why be like, 'Oops! I got my foot in my mouth again!'? Because if you do, it becomes embarrassing to be corrected by the one person you're trying to impress! And then you gotta accept that he just wants to protect you and live with that hat!

Sometimes people tend to show the world/people that they know enough..!! It doesn't mean that the person is looking down upon somebody else. For example: consider 2 friends having a conversation. One makes a grammatical mistake and the other instantly corrects by mentioning "plz dont mind that i am correcting your grammer"..!! This doesn't mean that they cant be good friends ever..!! Right?? All these silly corrections, Who knows what better, who is a GK King, doesn't matter..! What matters EOD is how well do you compliment, respect, love each other.. Coz i believe we are never tooo old to learn.
