I'm imagining a slow-motion video of you running in crooked circles through a living room with chains of infant nieces and nephews hanging from your ears, an expression of weary bafflement on your face, trying to explain data structures.

Yes, sautée cook.

See, dave, that image, or that expression of bafflement, is precisely what Mr. Davis has on his face as he struggles to reconcile himself to his children's rebelliousness.
