I always get calls from my mother around paperwork time at her school asking simple questions like, how do I unbold text
 

haha. Reminds me of my mother.

Poor thing "I felt like I was ten feet tall!"

Me: "uhh, mom. You were standing on the edge of our deck."

"How do I hook up the DVD?"

"You take the yellow, white and red plugs and plug them into the same colored holes on the back of the TV."

"OK I did it, still not working."

"Are they plugged in all the way?"

"Hold on...ok its working"

dude those old VCRs needed a NASA engineer to figure out how to program, and if you had a really old one and cheap one where you had to turn the itty-bitty nobs to tune in tv stations, forget it.

I would have laughed at my mom, but she's cool enough to laugh at herself too.

Damn, that's funny.

I could see my wife saying the same thing a couple years back. Now she's been properly educated. :)

My wife yesterday " I can't get the TV to work"

Me: "You have it on video 2" (video 2 was displayed on the screen)

Her: "oh, I didn't see that"
