Dad never understood that, and I think Sandy did, but he couldn't understand why.

But Dad understood exactly what Douglas was asking.

Dad understood how much she could learn from Stella.

Mom and Dad should understand that.

Dad might eventually understand, but I don't think Mom ever will.

Still, the pompous bugger wrote it in Latin so my Dad never understood.

"I'm sure Mom and Dad will understand that completely."

Of course, I'll have political egg on my face and a lynch mob after me from three sides, but Dad will understand.
