My first blog and a dubious "win" for me

I got married on the 10th of April to a man who I love dearly. He's a very clever man and he's also very talented at a wide range of activities. As a result of this, despite the title of this blog, he's right quite a lot of the time. It really is infuriating! He beats me at almost every activity, everything from tennis to playing pool. It's entirely frustrating to lose all the time, so I have invented increasingly sneaky tactics to try and beat him.

For instance, on our honeymoon we went to a maze. As a part of the "maze fun", you have to visit five poles in order then head to the "tower of Englightenment" (a tall cubbyhouse type structure that looks over the entire maze) before heading out. We agreed that it would be a race and to prove that we'd visited each pole in order, we would take a picture of each of them with our phones before heading out of the maze to win.

Shortly after entering the maze together we came to a crossroads. He went right, I went left...then I heard his shout of glee as he found the first pole. I knew right away that I would never beat him, so I did what any clever wife would do. I ran in the general direction of the exit and as soon as I was close enough, ducked under a wall blocking me from the "tower of Englightenment". I climbed the tower and took pictures of each of the poles with my camera from there, along with a photo of the tower, then headed to the exit nearby.

I win.
