I always had some writing assignment hanging over my head. At the time the school's policy seemed oppressive, but now I am grateful for the oppression.

I bought a personal computer a month ago and spent a lot time reading the manual. But operating this machine is over my head. I may have to sell it if I can't find anyone to help me.

Of my sons, my "believer" would tell me quickly but my "skeptic" would probably never tell me because he would have a hard time admitting that he was in over his head.
