Two weeks into post grad life I was sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure something out for my mom. Apparently her tablet had been notifying her she was low on memory which led her to run to Staples to buy an overpriced SD card. I've told this woman a million times about the wonder that is Amazon, yet she keeps shopping at useless stores like Staples. I swear, that company must make it's money off people who have kids that don't love them enough to teach them how to shop online.
Anyways, as I'm transferring my mom's photos from her tablet to a removable SD card she decides to give me a lesson about 8 years too late. She begins lecturing me about Google and how I can literally search any question on this website and it will come up with a list of answers. Apparently I can look up things on my phone, computer and tablet, basically anything with an internet connection. As I'm sitting there trying really hard to not laugh my mom is going on and on about all the questions she's searched.
Right as I'm about to walk away because I've finished with her tablet and it seems like the educational lesson is over she makes her final remark which was, "Oh, and term for looking up a question is 'Google it." Thanks mom, you're always teaching me something new.
And that everyone, is the type of shit my mom says...in 2014.
Hahaha, I'm glad your mom taught you allll about Google. ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I dont mind her sharing whatever new thing she learned, she was just sooo smug about it :)
DeleteHahaha so nice of her to keep you in the loop about google and all - I mean how did you make it through college without it? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe horrible part is I swear I've told her to Google things at least a dozen times. Apparently that never happened...
DeleteHaha...at least your mom knows about the internet! My mother n law has to have someone show her how to turn the computer on!
Deletemy mom thinks i'm the internet. oh, and she can't set her alarm clock either. i've been trying to teach her for the past 25 years.

When I was in Europe I use to TRY to Skype with my mom, she was never able to angle the removable camera right. She gave up and bought a tablet with a built in camera instead!
DeleteHaha! My mom is the same but she's even smarter. She'd open browser on my galaxy , put a "www.google.com" and surf through . I have lost this manner of putting "www." somewhere :'3
ReplyDeleteMy mom still puts www too! I don't know of anyone who does it besides moms lol
DeleteHahaha, awww your mom sounds adorable! My parents are using the internet but doesn't understand the concept of Google. They just play games with their friends ...
ReplyDeleteFor agessss my mom bugged me to find her a place to play Wheel of Fortune online, so yes, parents love playing the most random online games :)
