TIFU by letting my pregnant wife find out what submarines are really all about.

So, the obligatory “this happened before my wife recently gave birth to our 2nd child, and hormones were off the charts”.

My very pregnant wife wakes up and I am already awake, having made coffee for myself and prepared tea in anticipation for a relaxed morning. I’m watching a PBS special about WWII submarines and she sat down with her tea and started to watch.

So my wife isn’t a huge history buff and I am constantly reminding her of the order of commonly-known events. She is incredibly intelligent but she apparently had a very boring history teacher and never absorbed the information. As such, she had no idea that submarines were actually torpedo-carrying murder machines that were designed to blow up their enemies.

I look at her and she’s bawling…tears running down her face and she says, “But I thought submarines were just like for exploration and fun and stuff.” I chock it up to hormones, but I really ruined a nice morning.

TL;DR made my pregnant wife cry when she found out that submarines are war machines
