My mom asked me to help her check her voicemail because she kept getting the message saying the mailbox was full. I showed her how to press "1" and put in her password and then we listened to the messages: two were from my dad. The third was from my mom herself saying "Oh hey, it's just me checking my messages…"

One time I opened a Firefox window, minimized it to look at something else, and then brought it back up again. My mom freaked out and yelled, "You just wasted twenty dollars!" "Huh?" I eloquently replied. "It costs twenty dollars every time you open up The Internet," she continued. "Our plan costs twenty dollars." I assured her that this was a monthly charge, but she remained unconvinced. She demanded that I repay her $20 for "wasting The Internet," and then reminded me to "turn it off as soon as you're done with it, we don't want to use more than we absolutely need."

My mom called and asked how to buy a song on iTunes. Fair enough. Oh, but it took 45 minutes. "Now click on The iTunes Store" "It's not there." "Yes it is, it's on the left." "No… oh." "Now type it in." "It's not there." "Yes it is, I'm doing it on my computer too." "Oh." (etc.)
