I have found my Grans, in their weekly "Why isn't this working?" report, have developed a number of ways to talk about what they don't understand.

"I tried to download this website" <---Clicked a link
"It keeps coming up in front" <---I don't even remember.

Oh that stuff doesn't bother me, I can figure it out pretty quickly what they mean and it's actually kind of funny and cute sometimes. Like I had a call where she kept on saying she couldn't get Excel to work, and I remote in and I open up Excel and I'm like umm it's working. She meant she couldn't get to her network share where all her Excel files were at.

What I like is how some people ask me questions regarding stuff such as
"So, are we allowed graphing calculators?"
"How many exams are there?"
"What's your grading policy?"
etc. (I don't remember any others and I really don't want to dig through my inbox for them)

All of them have the same answer: "It's on the syllabus." Doesn't sound like much, but imagine getting those questions from 15 people.

I once wrote instructions on how to extract zip files attached to an email for my mother. And then she still asked me how to do it every other time, even after I slowly showed her multiple times.
Had no problems figuring out Facebook on her own, though. :colonveeplusalpha:

You mean the big telephone cable? I don't got one of those I always got on linkskey. Oh I don't have a router I just thought it got internet automatically.

At some point your frustration will become reality-warping, and you'll be able to hang yourself with a wireless phone cord.
