My wife's first night after moving to Texas: I'm driving her home from the airport to our apartment, it's pretty dark already. About 30 feet away from our parking space, I see something scampering towards us, so I stop. "Oh look! An armadillo!" I exclaim.
My wife, absolutely stunned, watches and then loudly asks, "WAIT, THOSE THINGS ARE REAL?! I thought they were made up our mythical!"
Her only knowledge of armadillos was from Friends, when Ross dresses up as "the Holiday Armadillo," because all the Santa costumes were taken. Chandler's unfamiliarity and it being used as a substitute for Santa and... Well, I can see how the math adds up.
Anyway, her shock and wonder, as though she'd just seen a unicorn, is a memory I'll always cherish.
