Remember how the adults always sounded to the Peanuts gang in the Charlie Brown cartoons? The unintelligible static that seemed to go in one ear and out the other?

Are you standing there running through a litany of problems and all they're hearing is "Wah wah wah wah...wahwahwahwah, Wah?" And then after you've finished your entire list, they "yes-yes" you, smile and nod - and absolutely NOTHING changes?
