A quick story.
Last February I was on a quick vacation with my wife and during a quiet evening in the hotel room, I caught my first episode of the Big Bang Theory. It was the Halloween costume one and once I has Sheldon’s Doppler Effect costume I explained it to my wife… and a moment later the explanation occurred on the show.
She hasn’t let me live this down.
But she now watches the episodes with me, so that’s a plus.
