1. Explain reasoning, including using his favorite word, “subsumes.”
2. Get distracted by professor’s ostensibly awesome laptop case.
3. Propose compromise.

I wonder how I’m going to get my kids to Sixth Sense-watching age without them learning the twist, deeply embedded in our culture as it is. After all, I didn’t make it to Empire Strikes Back watching age without knowing Vader was Luke’s father.

That cathedral of imaginary expectations you created for yourself is melting away as if made of candy glass actively being tongued by a giant hungry baby.
