labellementeuseSo I'm cooking macaroni cheese for dinner (the good folks at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
food_porn having given me cravings, although all their recipes involved about eight billion cups of milk and we only had about three cups, so I just did the Edmonds) but anyway, I've left Firefox open to my journal and Dad comes in and sits down. I go:
TUI: Control tab!
DAD: What?
TUI: Open a new tab.
DAD: Okay, how do you do that?
TUI: Hold down CTRL and hit T. Or go File -> New Tab. or right-click on a link and go Open in New Tab. (I like to give lots of information.)
DAD: *does so* Ah!
He mucks around loading cricinfo.com (god knows why: all NZ cricket results are the same, viz, we lose.) and then goes into the other room to watch the news. Meanwhile I stick the dish in the oven and come to fiddle around on Livejournal and my emails in my original tabs. He comes back in, and goes:
DAD: You haven't lost that page, have you?
TUI: Nah. *clicks his tab*
DAD: Oh! is that what tabbing does?
TUI: Yeah, this is why Firefox is great.
DAD: *squints at screen* And... are those things up there all your other tabs? Have you got all those things open?
TUI: Um. Yes?
DAD: Oh, I didn't know that. Is that tabbed browsing? I've heard of that.
Oh, Dad. *squishes* The thing that makes this most hilarious is that he's normally pretty tech enabled. But, wow. You know what this means? All those times I close tabs when he's looking over my shoulder? I could just switch tabs and he wouldn't have known. Wow.
