So yeah this just happened. All because I saw a post on the front page that mentioned there were only ~25 blimps in the world.
I genuinely don't even know how the conversation went because I was just mindlessly scrolling and hanging out with my wife, but somewhere between showing her the post and mentioning that the blimp was one of only 25 still in existence in the world, she became convinced that I knew that fact off hand. Around this time, her bullshit senses started tingling, but for the wrong reasons. She thought I was messing with her (which I admittedly do a fair bit of, in good fun of course) so she looked it up and confirmed that there are only ~25 blimps in existence. And hey, I already mentioned how I enjoy messing around with her, so who am I to let this golden goose slip me by? So yeah, I hammed that shit up to see how far I could take it. Made it seem like a totally normal thing -- like yeah, I just really fucking dig blimps dude, idk how it hasn't come up before.
She grilled me a bit more, asking for one more fact about blimps. She totally almost had me here, but fortunately I had skimmed through some comments just before showing her the picture. I told her the difference between blimps, zeppelins, and hot air balloons. And for good measure, I brought up the difference between zeppelins and blimps. Then I ranked my favorite aircraft (fuck helicopters).
Anyway, she seemed really, really happy to discover something new about me after knowing each other for so long. I think I may have to learn to love blimps in order to not let her down.
I've spent the rest of the night researching blimp and other various airship facts in order to keep this thing going. Turns out, blimps are actually pretty cool.
TL;DR: I showed my wife a picture of a blimp and she became convinced that I've been hiding my interest in blimps from her for years.
