Stephen flew out to Tahiti for a meeting today. Tahiti is one of the islands of French Polynesia. It's a hop away from Bora Bora. I know what you're thinking - that it's not fair right?! My sentiments exactly! Who goes to Tahiti for work?! Bloody smokers, that's who!
Anyway, Tahiti is 5 hours by flight but they are 22 hours behind Auckland, which basically means that if it's 6pm Friday in Auckland, it's 8pm Thursday in Tahiti. The only reason why I'm outlining this in detail is because my very brilliant husband couldn't really get his head around the time difference.
And after thinking long and hard about it, he finally got it. Yes! Well now that he's figured out the time difference, he's completely fascinated by it. He even came up with his own little jokes.
Joke #1:
Stephen: Don't tell me what's on the news or what's going to happen on Friday cuz it's still Thursday here and I want Friday to be a surprise!
me: *forced laughter*Joke #2:
Stephen: I'm so tired. Time travelling is exhausting!
me: (I didn't even bother to laugh on this one. I just rolled my eyes several times.)
As you can see, my husband brand of humour is erm... very unique and not exactly the funniest. He has his moments though but this surely isn't one of them.

Hey tarts...!!! if it's 20h behind...... shouldn't it be..10pm in Tahiti?
You can be so charming and lovely sometimes ... and brutally honest at the same time!
Hahah! Steph-o was horrified when he found out that I posted his "jokes" online!
I saw your face when I told you his jokes... you weren't laughing either!!!
