lmao!

Thank you for the laugh!

It took me three YEARS to convince my mom and my aunt that turning off the monitor wasn’t turning off the computer. And then I had to convince them that turning off the computer wasn’t going to ‘break’ it.

The only rest that poor machine had was when the power went out. And every FREAKING time that happened, they were freaking out, convinced that it was finally dead forever. (My mom would call me to coach her through turning it back on. “Press the button on the front of the tower... the big box sitting on the floor... and turn on the monitor... yes, the TV thing...”)
