I stood in the kitchen with both boys talking about nothing in particular.
J, 13, asks out of the blue when we can buy his “Roxio thing.” This was the first time I was hearing about this “thing” and had no idea what he was talking about. We had recently been talking about him downloading free software to use for video editing but there had been no discussion of buying any “thing.”
Confused. I asked him to explain.
In the tone of a typical teen exasperated by the denseness of his parents, he proceeds to tell me that the cord was broken on his current Roxio.
“I didn’t know the cord was broken. How was I supposed to know…osmosis?”
His 15 year old brother looks at me quizzically and asks, “Osmosis?”
“Yeah moving through the air from his brain to mine.”
He looks at me and says flatly,”That’s diffusion.”
