11. I'm a bit more literate...

Because I'm young, my dad's a computer programmer and so is my husband. I've always had immediate tech support! Husband explained...

It's similar to a external hard drive that stores things. It's just amazon storage that stores your junk basically.

My husband's ex-boss (we call him Cheeto) mentioned once that the website that didn't actually exist (long story) was "in the cloud." Palm face on that one. "It's not on the cloud it's on that server right there!" Except my husband never said that since he wanted to keep his job at the time. Cheeto just heard about cloud and decided that they had that.

Cheeto also once looked up words in the dictionary to sound smarter while only using words that start with C. I couldn't understand a word of what he wrote, and it wasn't for a lack of vocabulary. Too many funny stories about that guy. Too stupid to function almost. If I ever thought myself dumb, I was very wrong about that and he's the proof.
