"Parents Just Don't Understand" by Jeff Rubin

Do your parents not understand technology? None of them do, they're all morons! People that dumb shouldn't be allowed to breed. It's tragic, really.

If you've got an example of your Parents Just Don't Understanding, embarrass them and send it to parentsjustdontunderstand (at) gmail.com.

We recently set up an email address for my grandmother. She was hoping I would email her, so when we spoke on the phone she explained, "My email is willsgranny@yahoo.com and my password is roses."

My dad asked me if cell phones could call land lines. He thought you could only call other cell phones, "like wake-talkies."

My grandpa saw a "Wifi coming soon" ad on a McDonalds placemat and said, "Looks like McDonalds is adding some Asian food to their menu."

When I was seven years old, my mother was trying to set up our new computer. The set up program kept telling her to push the start button. She sat their for an hour pushing the screen.

And a very special children just don't understand:
My four-year-old son has one of our older computers in his room to play educational games. Since it's old, it freezes up a lot. When I explained the problem, he told me to just heat it up so it's not so cold.
