I went to dinner last night with some of my family for my dad’s step-father’s 72nd birthday. My completely computer-illiterate parents bought him a new laptop. This conversation was overheard from my end of the table:
Birthday Boy: Oh wow, it’s a laptop.
Mom: Yeah, and it’s wireless!
brief moment of silence
Dad: * sighs and shakes head * It’s a laptop [Mom’s name], they’re all wireless.
It may be because we had an alcoholic beverage with dinner, but my sister and I just about died laughing. The funniest part is that it was my husband that got in trouble.
Mom: Stop laughing at me…Josh!
In the car later, he complained, “I was hardly laughing! It was you and [sister’s name] over there cackling like a couple of hyenas!” Ha! Good times…
Wow, a wireless laptop, what’ll they think of next?!~
