May 14th, 2008My mom: I have to ask you a computer question.
Me: Okay.
Mom: Your cousin was over the other night to help me and left this weird thing in my computer.
Me: Okaaaaayyyy…
Mom: Well what is it?
Me: Uh, I’m going to need a little more detail.
Mom: Well you know where your computer has those plug in thingies and then there is a cord, and you could also put other cords there, and one goes around the back but not all do, well there is this thing he put there and it’s still there. Do I need it? Do I want it? What does it do? What does it have in it? What is it?
Me: I have no idea what you just said.
Mom: Well I just don’t know what it is. I want to know what it is.
Me: Describe it better.
Mom: Well it kind of looks like a lighter. What goes in a computer that looks like a lighter?
Me: [head hurting… thinking of many punchlines… looks like a duck, walks like a duck…]
Mom: Hello?
Me: I think he was just loading something on your computer. That’s all it is… there’s software on it and he was putting it on the machine.
Mom: Well why didn’t you just say that?!
