W stayed over after we went to see a movie yesterday. I didn't feel like spending the night in my office on the computer so I suggested she go to sleep in the bedroom since I'm on my vacation schedule - same night-owl as when working, but I don't feel guilty about it. So that led to a back-ache. Ugh. That will teach me to be nice.
So, W was in argumentative mode. But... we had a rousing argument about historical events and stuff that took up half the drive into town. The cool thing is it was all in good fun. It started with just how much of an a**hole Christopher Columbus was (given the ethics of his time and culture VS applying those of our time) and ended with whether or not Napoleon was really even short (for his time and by comparison to his contemporaries). Yeah, we do stuff like that.
Oh, TTD and NQ, you could have had some input because we also wandered over the topics of that pesky little Colonial insurrection from the 1700s and then the War of 1812.
On the upside, based on what I saw in the bathroom trash can, I understand why she was in a mood. (sorry ladies)

Canada 1, US 0 - after all we did burn down the White House LOL - and on a technicality Canada was still British then so it was actually revenge for that pesky insurrection and the waste of tea .
This just brings back memories (not necessarily good either) of elementary and high school history - all we studied was Canadian history. We've only got about 200 years of history so it kinda got boring after a grade or two . Although I couldn't have been that bored - my university degree is history major, even though I took everything but Canadian history then.

I wouldn't have been able to give you much input as I'm rubbish at history, lol. The only name that rings any bells in your above post is Christopher Columbus.

Go Canada. LOL. I mentioned the same thing about the White House, and that Canadians are pretty eager to point out that the fledgling US didn't succeed at grabbing any Canadian territory - the idea won't get much traction here because we've been raised since at least WWII to put our fingers in our ears and shout "we're #1" until a problem goes away. At least we did ok in that Battle of New Orleans (sadly after the treaty to end the war was signed). The internet was down.
After googling Napoleon's height, she chose Admiral Nelson to look up for comparison. I think we decided to eat before we got to checking on Wellington.
My W is no slouch about history - she was a political science major, and took a lot of history electives. But, we like to argue enough that we've probably argued both sides of everything at least once.
So, enough history and politics. I'm just glad we managed to keep it to a friendly, though rambling debate, and nobody got upset.
That's good news Good luck at the dentist and a Happy Birthday for Thursday I'll make you a virtual cake lol
