The internet is awesome, teaching it is not

Guys, my mom is learning the internet. And guess who is teaching her? This girl.


It's a struggle I tell you. Here is a sample conversation:

Mom: Jessica, I need to check my email.
Me: Ok.
Mom: Come with me to check my email.
Me: Mom, you know how to do it, why do you need me?
Mom: Just in case.
Me: Ok.
Mom: Ok, first I go to the button with the window and look for the internet....
Me: OMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I won't even continue this convo because it will take up so much space on this blog. Needless to say, it is endless. I feel bad at times because I always think back at how she taught me how to walk, talk, read, potty, etc. But my goodness, it couldn't have been as hard as teaching your mom (who last used computers before the mouse was invented) how to use the internet. I try to be patient, I try real hard. I know she'll get it eventually but still. ahhh.

We would like to teach my mom how to skype for when she's in ES; but she refuses to learn how to text. At least your mom does that :-)

Hahah.. I thought I was alone in this struggle. My parents are better about email, but uploading pictures on the internet and or responding to craigslist inquiries.. .Not so much. And I feel bad losing my patience too.. but you know. It happens. Especially after you've patiently showed them 567,345,022 times. Payback I guess.. for all those times we pooped in the bathtub hahaha
