Parents just don't understand

Some funny posts from collegehumor.com about parents and technology. At some points I think I was crying..

To get to Facebook my mom goes to Google, searches for Yahoo mail, logs in to her Yahoo account, finds the original confirmation email from Facebook, and uses the link in the email to log in.

The ONLY text message I have ever received from my dad said this: "EMERGENCY GO HOME AND TURN OFF COFFEE MAKER." Amazingly, that actually got me out of school early.

My mom ends every Facebook conversation with the whole list of available emoticons.

My mom told me she sent an e-mail to my dad from her Blackberry asking if he had something she needed and the Blackberry adds "Sent from my Blackberry phone." to the end of her message. Then she showed me my father's response, "No. Sent from my laptop at work."

My grandpa got a magic 8-ball during a gift swapping game at a familyChristmas party. We told him to ask it a question, and he held it up tohis mouth and asked "Where's Beijing?"

My dad refuses to write text messages because he says "the buttons are too small." He will only use the pre-written text options. His response to every text is, "Thank You," "I'm running a little late," or, "See you later."
