I found a great deal on Groupon for our recent visit to Salt Lake City. For about $30 per person, it included admission to 12 attractions, including the Clark Planetarium, Red Butte Garden, Hogle Zoo, and the Tracy Aviary, as well as a tasty lunch at The Lion House Pantry Restaurant. One of the activities we redeemed was for tickets to an educational IMAX movie. There were many options to choose from and, knowing my Sexy Nerd, I was surely going to end up watching Hidden Universe 3D (the most educational-looking one of all.)
Imagine my surprise when he wanted to see Island of Lemurs, suggesting it with so much out-of-character enthusiasm that I at first thought he was being a sarcastic punk. We received our tickets, picked our seats, and waited for the movie to begin.
"You're not just watching this because you know I'll like it, are you?" I asked.
"No," Sexy Nerd assured me, smiling. "I love lemurs! Who doesn't love lemurs?"
The lights dimmed and the documentary began, with Morgan Freeman taking us back to the time when lemurs ruled the island of Madagascar, thriving in an all-lemur paradise. I glanced at Sexy Nerd, who was still smiling. Suddenly, he frowned. He leaned over to me and whispered...
"I thought lemurs were meerkats."
