Men who explain things.

(I allow men to explain things to me that I already understand, far too often. They should stop it, and I should stop allowing it.)

[Edit: To those men who are explaining linux text editors to me, I didn't mean you. I *don't* understand this, and I appreciate the help. It's coincidence that I ran across this article at this time. :-)]

I used to say that my mother had installed The Portal in her house. You know the one I mean -- The Portal that turns adult children into thirteen-year-olds?

(Fortunately, I was subsequently able to uninstall The Portal, at least as it applies to me.)

My mother treated us all as adults um. More or less when we became legal adults; it was probably actually tied to when we left school, though.
