FireFox FTW, Mom speak <3
Category: Conversations, Mom

She’s so adorable.

mom: what did you to my computer
me: nothing! why?
mom: you removed Google
me: what no, just type it in
mom: no it’s not here *shows Quick Launch*
me: just click on the blue E, it’ll go there
mom: but where’s the orange google ¹ ?
me: …
me: you mean this one?
me:*drags FireFox down to Quick Launch*
mom: that’s it
me: you’ve always used the orange one?
mom: yeah why
me: nothing, from the start?
mom: mhmm *busily types in recipe sites*

¹ Firefox loads Google as its homepage, so she associates it with the browser.

@ Anna: My mom does that too! XD I can’t begin to tell you the things she says when she sees them “Win a new blender! Let’s see how do I win this… ” But she’s learnt (I hope) not to click them.

Psst: I keep finding your comments in akismet’s spam for some reason, that’s why they don’t show up immediately sometimes.

@ Tammy: XP the things they say haha. My parents don’t really care much about browsers. IE is just more familiar to the regular user so I was surprised when she preferred FF.

Oh my gosh, haha, that’s so funny My mom keeps opening these Chinese sites that contain a LOT of advertisement, and I have to constantly warn her against downloading a virus…

At least your mom doesn’t call google “goggle”
Mom: Tammy, go find me goggle~!!!
Me: What?
Mom: you know, the thing that lets you find everything!

My mom has yet to differentiate between browsers.
