My parents know little about the Internet and using computers in general. I find it amusing how they choose their words to term what I consider well known applications (Eg: Orange Google). It’s almost inevitable to take advantage of their lack of knowledge, on occasion.
However, I do help them. I won’t make up excuses as to why the “volume won’t turn on” just because I don’t want to listen to those badly recorded cooking videos Mom watches. I won’t tell Dad why his Picasa won’t work (because it kept running in the background after he closed it the last time) just because I don’t want him to import those unflattering family photos which he would then send to every relative on his contact list. Mom loves cooking and Dad love his Picasa.
But I don’t offer to help fix the sound on Dad’s laptop because the entire neighborhood does not need to be awake with the rest of us at 5 A.M. by a rooster we can’t murder. We still make our prayers on time regardless.
