Garth and I joke that we not only have male/female differences, but we also have cultural differences. Garth grew up in South Africa and didn't come to America until he was 14 and I have lived in Michigan all. my. life.
I forget he lived in a different country until things like this happen:
Me: I heard a really funny joke today that made me literally laugh out loud. Are you ready?
Garth: Yes.
Me: While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
Garth: What's a Mario Kart?

LOL You must've read the same list that I did! :) But, it's funny that he has no clue about Mario Kart! You must fix that!
haha! That's pretty cool thought that he can bring a different flavor to the relationship!
Ha ha... that is pretty funny!
LOL. I liked the joke!
He's lived here since he was 14 and he still doesn't know what Mario Kart is??? Haha! Well, I guess I didn't know what Mario Kart was until I went to college...
Ha ha ha. Though it's easy to forget sometimes that even when two people come from different states there can be local jokes or inside references that the other person just doesn't get.
Crazy how intrinsic people are sometimes.
That's funny! Did you immediately run out and rent Mario Kart so he could be initiated?? I sure hope so!!
AHHH! OMG! I HAVE to share this story with my boyfriend...he would def. appreciate your reference to Mario Kart. Hysterical! You must teach your boyfriend all about it...it is def. our favorite game (borderline obsessed with the WII version!)
HAHA! HILARIOUS! It is your job as a wife to educate Garth about said "Mario Kart." Too cute. Enjoy your week!
Haha! Mario has affected so many. ;)
Oh no!! Poor deprived Garth. He doesn't know Mario Kart? Oh my word... that's hysterical!!
My husband grew up in Hong Kong, and among other things, has never seen The Brady Bunch. It keeps things interesting!
NO WAY! I have never heard of a guy who didn't know what Mario Kart is. I would've died laughing!
how funny!
haha, that is too funny!
sooo cute :)
Haha! Your conversation is way funnier than the joke!
I love that list that's been circulating!
Lol...I'm sure those differences make for lots of jokes in your house!
Ha ha, that's so funny! I used to kick butt in Mario Kart!!
That's hilarious :) I read that one too and laughed out loud! So funny he didn't know about it!
HA! I love Mario Kart. I recommend introducing Garth to Mario Kart if you haven't already!
That is too funny!
It reminds me of my mom and dad b/c my mom grew up in South America until her sophomore year of high school...so my dad will talk about songs/movies/shows from their childhood and she's like "I have no clue what you're talking about!"
lol how funny.. I loved Mario Kart!!! You need to let Garth in on all the fun he missed!
Haha, waaaaay funny!!!!
Ha ha ha ha so funnY!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Great!
Garth is wonderful :)
Never a dull moment, huh?
Oh my gosh!!! That is too funny. :) You definitely need to introduce Garth to the wonders of Mario Kart. But then again, you may lose your husband for some time if you do that! :)
Oh my goodness!
It your duty as a good wife to open your dear husband's eyes and fingertips to Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart..I can't believe they don't have that question on the citzenship test..Mario Bros. should be mandatory! : )
If you don't have a wii, get one. THEN, buy Mario Kart for the wii with the steering wheels. He needs to know things.
How funny! I guess I assumed everyone knew what Mario Kart was HA! You should buy the old school game and teach him all about it :)
Lol...that's funny! Yeah..these are the little things that bring excitement to a marriage when you're discovering each other and realize that culture plays a big part. Even though we're both hispanic, I was born in Costa Rica and my hubby was born in San Diego but he's Mexican and we do alot of things differently. Even our spanish is different but it makes things exciting because we learn form each other!
OK, that made me laugh out loud! HA!
So funny! I had to pass that joke on to my hubby-- we're always playing Mario Kart together!
Too funny! You will have to take him to play Mario Kart sometime.
Heehee I love it!
I get those moments with my husband too... me being the outsider...
haha that is too funny! us american kids lived off that..I guess it's easy to forget that it is different in other countrys!
Ha ha!!
OMG! Someone go buy that man a nintendo! Stat!
haha! That makes me sad for him :( I think it is great though that you have differences in your relationship to keep it interesting!
we must have read the same list. i could not stop laughing while reading that entire thing! you must remedy this situation of your hubs not knowing what mario kart is!
OMG that is hilarious!!!
LOL. That's so funny! He's so endearing!
serious? Since he was 14, he has never heard of mario kart?
I grew up without any video games- and honestly I feel like I am missing out on a life skill of our generation. But thanks to wii- I don't look like a total dork turning my controller to drive my little car.
That's funny! My sisters boyfriend is from South Africa as well. I'll have to tell him the story and see if he's figured out what Mario Kart is! :)
Ha ha! Me and hubs are from same country, same state but different regions and with different accents. Some words I use sound totally alien to him. And in middle of a conversation I have to pause and explain him what it means..grin!

haha! I LOVE Mario Kart!
thats is so funny!
too funny!!!
Oh my gosh, that's too funny! Mario Kart....
I think it's so cool that your husband is from South Africa. Have you ever been or are you planning to visit South Africa in the future? That would be an incredible place to see!
Have a great week sweet friend!
Haha! That is hilarious!!
haha :) that's hysterical!
That is seriously funny! When I lived in New Zealand during high school, my boyfriend at the time and I would always have this sort of disconnect.
OMG...seriosuly so cute and funny!
LOL. That's too cute!
This is too funny!
