Maybe my family is weird,but we fight over the stupidest questions. An example: my husband swears that our 4 year old just grew knee caps. I argued that you are born with knee caps. After, days of debating and me yelling at my husband to stop poking at our son's knees...I googled it. It turns out we were both right: you are born with knee caps, but they do not harden until age 3-5. Argument over! My whole family (sisters, brother, parents) fights like this and now it usually ends with someone saying "google it!" I just wonder how these stupid arguments were settled before google. :)
LOL- Yes, we do the same thing. I'm glad we have internet on my phone b/c I can even prove my husband wrong while we're in the car ;)
This is hysterical! My husband and I are the same way believe it or not it is teaching your children a healthy way to argue!
Before Google people went to bed mad at eachother, now at least one of the couples goes to bed....victorious!!!
Yes, my ex and I do this all the time! Google also helps with the endless questions from my daughter that I would otherwise have to answer "I don't know", now I say "Let's look it up!".
We google all the time. Our most recent argument was over whether Ayatollah or Khomeini was the title of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Ayatollah is the title. Another recent one was over the mating habits of tortoises. He thought they laid eggs which were fertilized outside of the body. I knew better and google proved me right. We are both glad that we argue over silly things (not calling the Imam silly lest anyone decide to stir up trouble) instead of having serious marital trouble.
If you could wear out the google app on the Iphone, my husbands would be burned out (and maybe not such a bad thing!). We do this ALL THE TIME!! It usually starts with, "Don....I am telling you ....." and ends with, "Mel, your wrong. Where's my phone and I'll Google it!"
LOL we have the saying "google it' yelled out so many times in our house...you are not alone!! " my favorite is to say "google it and prove me wrong"
no way...because i am always right...end of argument
:)
\but my 6 year olds ask questions that...hm...sometimes mom does not know the answer to and they say
well google it
heheheh that saves my behind every time.
The library was the place to find things out.
Love it! We don't really have to do this, as he trusts me on anything having to do with politics, history, culture or etiquette, and I trust him with medical info...
But, when I was working FT my dept was a group of people who were all over-educated for our respective positions. We ended up arguing about EVERYTHING and always had our official fact-checker intervene when things got too heated...."Alex, Wikipedia this...." It was a great way to bring some resolution to our know-it-all spats.
My husband and i fight this way ALL THE TIME. He has an iphone, so google is easier to come by. I think it infuriates him that since the iphone he realizes im usually right.
not just think i am.
Im just happy we agree on the big issues and bicker over the little ones, such is life
We do the exact same thing!
haha laughing as I read this because my husband and I do the same thing. Most recently we argued over the rules to phase 10. What would we do without google?
Funny! My hubby and I just last night had to settle a bet by Goggling it! Sadly I lost...it turns out William Dafoe was not in the movie "alien"...I thought for sure he was the guy that got cut when they were doing that knife between the fingers scene? Whatever! Although I had a good feeling I was wrong when he said he'd bet me a car...I have been wanting new wheels for awhile...darn it!
I really don't know what we did before Google!
