  • Parents Just Don't Understand

    Do your parents not understand technology? Do they ask you stupid questions? Do they send you absurd text messages? Do they use words like "MyFace," "SpaceBook," or "The World Wide Web?"

    The other day my family was listening to my iPod in thee car and my mom heard a song that she liked and said that she wanted it on her iPod. When I told her it was already on it she asked me "how far into it, like one hour?"

    My grandparents just bought a brand new, 50" plasma screen TV. They keep their VHS casette tapes in the stand underneath the TV.

    My mom thought that a laptop was called a labtop. She called it a labtop "because scientists invented them."

    Pop Culture CliffsNotes: July 18th

    by Susanna Wolff 6 days ago


    All week, a stupid word has been pervading the media and that can only mean one thing: Angelina Jolie had another kid. Two actually. Knox and Vivienne. Yeah, Knox. Let's all start placing our bets on what they'll call baby #7. Rex? Jax? Snorlax? You can really tell that Brad and Angie expect their kids to be cool, beautiful people. What if Knox Jolie-Pitt were the name of a fat loser? With this many kids, they're bound to produce at least one dud.[IDLYITW]

    Speaking of babies, here's one that's gotten kind of overshadowed by old Foxy Knoxy: Jessica Alba's kid, Honor. She exists. And, yes, Jessica Alba is skinny again. [DListed, PopSugar]

    If, however, you were wondering which hotties were looking particularly unskinny this week, take a peek at Uma Thurman's totally f*cked up bikini gut. Either she's pregnant too...or she ate a baby. [Egotastic]

    Now that you're totally sick of hearing about pregnant chicks and their offspring, it's time to bask in the beauty of the post-menopausal set. Yeah, I'm talking about sexy old Helen Mirren. I'm serious. [IDLYITW]

    Your parents' IMAX experience.

    My dad got a new cell phone after never owning one, and I noticed he kept hanging up on me in the middle of our conversations without saying goodbye or giving any warning. This went on all last semester and when I got home from break, I found out he would talk until the backlight would go off, close the phone, and plug it into the charger, because it "died."

    My mom has an old-school Samsung flip phone. She thinks that you have to leave it open when you charge it, or else it won't charge.

    Everytime my dad wanted to go to Youtube, he types in www.google.com into the MSN search bar, searches for Bill Monroe on google, goes to page 4, which is a youtube video.

    What your parents imagine when you say you're going to "burn a CD."
    When my parents got the internet, I spent hours explaining how to type in a web address, but my dad still doesn't understand that it has to be a real website to work. When I look at the previous addresses they read, "www.golfcoursesnearmyrtlebeach.com" or "www.insurancepoliciesforseniors.com"

    My mom got on my laptop and opened the 'my documents' folder and proceeded to ask me, " But where are MY documents?"

    The voice that says the directions and when to turn on my parents' GPS is a female (with an Australian accent, WTF dad?) voice. So every time my dad and mom discuss what the GPS is saying, they say things like, "Oh, she said to turn here." or, "Looks like she's getting low on batteries."

    Your parents' routers.

    Last summer my dad told my brother, sister, and me that he had "pimped" the cable and the guys were coming the next day. We thought we were getting extra channels. It turned out that my dad thought "pimp" meant something bad because all the cars on Pimp My Ride were run down and he had actually broken the cable instead.

    When my mom uses googlechat, instead of typing in the chat box she types her response in the 'custom message/status update' box. Right now hers says "How was your exam?"
