If you’ve got an example of your Parents Just Don’t Understanding, send it to parentsjustdontunderstand (at) gmail.com. And, hey, if we publish it, send your parents a link. They probably won’t understand what it is.

Whenever my mom finds a website she likes or wants to visit again, she copies the address and pastes it in this word document she has. The word document is 4 pages of website addresses. The best part? It’s titled “Website Favorites.”

My mom was using her laptop when she called me over, complaining that something was wrong. I arrived to find her frantically clicking a “Print This Article” button on a webpage. “It won’t print!” she explained. We don’t have a printer.

I was behind a woman in the self-checkout line of the grocery store who was trying to scan a single donut. It was just an unwrapped donut in a napkin and she didn’t understand why the laser wouldn’t pick it up.

My aunt was having computer problems and brought it over for me to fix. She just brought the monitor. And no cords.
From Rebecca
My dad loves watching viral videos, so I sent him a link for the Rick Roll video. He sat there and genuinely enjoyed it. Afterward he reminisced about how he took my Mom to one of his concerts, and thanked me for a trip down memory lane.
From Tory
My dad still uses dial-up. I hope this e-mail makes it before somebody calls my house and the internet dies again.
