Conversation with the hubs after Thursday supper club tonight. (Note: today was a major technology day for us... T deployed a portal that he managed tonight (I have no idea what any of that means) and I sat through a work day's worth of training on how to use the new EMR system for our office.)
T: So I you wanna see what SharePoint looks like?
A: Is that what you made?
T: Yeah.
A: No, wait, that's the program that makes the thing you made?
T: Yeah (opens up website thingy... better known as The Portal)
A: Ohhh, so when you make it... is it all, like, ones and zeros?
T: What? No.
A: Oh is that what it was like at first, before *The Portals* (air quotes)?
T: At first?
A: Like in the beginning... of... programming?
T: Everything was like that in the beginning.
A: Is it is till ones and zeros?
T: Not to you. You don't see them.
A: What?
T: You're not the One.
A: What?
T: Neo.
[PAUSE]
A: Did he see the ones and zeros?
P.S. for those normal people out there and those who didn't marry a computer nerd, this is a Matrix reference.
P.P.S. yes, I am well aware that our first initials repeated spell TATAs- which means we have to be super careful with monograms- we don't want any "T&A" pillows. Also- did you know our marriage was "Manda-Tory." We've heard it all....
