The other day my mom asked if youtube videos “expire” because one video she was watching didn’t load all the way.

From the other room I just heard my mother shout out in frustration, “I so suck at clip art!”

My mom just got a new cell phone. She was setting up her voicemail on it and wanted to see if she did it correctly so she asked me to call her. I called her phone and she picked up so I told her to just let it go to voicemail. She said OK. I called back and she picked up again. This happened two more times until I took the phone away from her.Kyle Kuhn, Ohio State
My mom has a Blackberry and a Bluetooth to go with it. When she talks on the phone using the Bluetooth, she still holds the phone to her mouth.

My grandma called me a few days ago and said her computer wasn’t working. I went over there the next day because I knew she wasn’t around and started looking for the problem; she had said it wouldn’t turn on. I had just moved the TV and a few other things in the room so I assumed I’d bumped a plug or something. So I got there, saw what appeared to be a loose plug, shoved it in, turned on the computer and it worked fine. Next day she calls again and says it’s still not turning on: “It turns on for about 2 seconds and then shuts off before it gets to the ‘Dell’ screen.” Confused, I go back and watch her turn it on…she puts her finger on the power button to turn it on…then proceeds to leave it there until the computer shuts back off.

At a recent family wedding I overheard my mom having a conversation with her friend. My mom was trying to convince her friend to join Facebook, as she had recently done. Her friend’s response was, “I would, I just don’t like to Twiddle.”
