Connections

My daughter's going to be bringing her phone along on the trip. She doesn't have a headset for it, and my MP3 headset doesn't fit the socket on her phone.

No prob, I said; we'll get an adapter. Your phone has a 2.5 mm socket, so we need an adapter that's got a 2.5 mm jack, while my headset has a 3.5 mm jack, so the adapter needs a 3.5 mm socket. 2.5 mm male connector; 3.5 mm female connector.

She thought a minute. That's awfully suggestive, she said finally. I laughed. Yeah, I said, I remember when I realized why one part's called male, and the other female. She seemed surprised. Oh, she said. I just got it. Wow.

Wow, indeed.
