On Sunday, as we were driving home from church, Michael asked me, 'So can you list all five makes by GM?'
'Cheerios!' I said. 'Ha, ha!'
Michael proceeded to enlighten me by telling me all five makes. He has done this before, but apparently the lesson did not stick, or else I would have known the answer this time around, which is Buick, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, etc. On we moved to the topic of Chrysler, despite its having sold out to the Germans and no longer being an American company. I did not know any of the makes, so Michael had to tell me the first one, which is Chrysler - which I think is cheating, to have a make named after the manufacturer.
Me: I don't know any of the others.
Michael: Sure you do. Think of the Pilgrims.
Me: The Chrysler Progress?
Michael: No, silly! Think of them landing.
Me: Ummm...the Chrysler Mayflower?
Michael: Boy, this is embarrassing. Think of where they landed.
Me: Oh, the Plymouth! I've seen those!

Wow, he's pretty serious about educating his wife in the ways of the world. What a good Victorian husband!

You have my sympathy. DOB worked through school at a car insurance agency and knows everyone in the county by their car make and year, if not actually VIN. I, when he asks me what kind of a car someone drives, respond, "Uh. . . blue? And kind of newish?"
Heehee, I suppose I have better brush up on my non-existing knowledge of cars in the next few years. That's one of the few things you forgot to teach me. ^_^
