Son understands me!

If you know something about my research, you might know that in July I have an interview to get the funding for the next two years study. I was explaining to son that the philosophical approach behind my research and my examiner's approach are opposites, so that the viva is going to be a bit harder. I was delighted to discover that son knows the relevant bits of philosophy. I said,

"My research is based on a constructionist approach. My examiner is a realist."

Son immediately responded:

"Oh dear!"

How nice to be understood.
