How often do you talk about something that is "useless to life" ?

When I was very happy after dinner and began to talk about history of our country,my wife told me that our electricity fee hadn't been paid yet.I became a little disappointed because she was so realistic that she had no interest in something about history. I said I could pay the money the next morning, and it was not the most emergent at the moment.She just replied that history had nothing important with our daily life.
Maybe what I thought in my mind and waht she thought were really different.Why should we always think about everyday life? Shouldn't we think about something that would just make us happy,but would not give us money?
So guys,how often do you talk with your family about something that doesn't bring you money or wealth,but just give you relaxation? Or has life made you always think about present pressure and forget something higher in the sky? Do you still imagine what is happening in the deep part of universe instead of the lack of salty in your home?
Share you ideas,and share your life. Thank you!

you have to understand her. is she a domestic housewife then her worries is all about budget, kids' education, budget, chores, budget, food, budget, bills and most of all budget. With all these bothering in her mind she the last thing she will be thinking of is history of the country or other things not directly affected to the current situation at home. She has been working 24/7 without pause and she must be tired. So just understand her and assure her that budget is taken care of (by you).
If she is a working housewife it will be more difficult for her, because she needs to have double body and double time. Working at home and working at work. Wheww.. such a day's task. Again, does the history have something to do with her. Will she reieved and relaxed after she knew what history is?
Or maybe.. she will be having her period. so she's a bit cranky and emotional. so just give it to her. and understand her all the more.
I don't know if this will conclude my point. LOL

Sounds like the two of you were on different planes for the moment. It happens.
My grown kids and I talk about everything from politics to history and then some. We do talk about every day things, too. I personally think that a person should have a lot of different interests.

Me and my brother always talk about anything that has nothing to do with our lives and wont make us rich. Sometimes we talk about places or how would it be to live in that place how would it be to be like that and this instead of worrying about life and thinking about it. When things go wrong in our family we don't talk it more often, we talked about it once and think about what to do after that we just talk about anything which is sometimes really nonsense then we laugh. It help us lessen the stress. We can't be too serious about life I mean to talk about life every time and keep worrying after.

I think she just want an assurance that your house will have electricity. After all, when you're at home without electricity, history won't give it back. My point is, she is taking care of your house seriously that that's why she has to be realistic and talking history won't save the bills. So assured her that everything's ok that you can pay up the bills. Then you can talk about history and eveerything while watching something.. just be cool right.
