That moment when ur grandmother asks you, 'Were King Arthur and Queen Guinevere real?' And u have to resist the urge to gleefully rattle off the entirety of Arthuriana canon because you forget that not everybody loves it as much as you do.
Also, she DID go on about The Winter King tv show and I was like 'AHHH!' (Not in a good way.)
(Had to resist the urge to start barking about Welsh mythology also because she would have looked at me silly if I'd gone on about how Arthur was connected to that. *sigh*)

Ngl, I managed to tell her about Arthur having run-ins with giants so like I'm counting that as a win.
