As of yesterday, my 85-year old mother owns a computer.  Which means she now has long-awaited email, although she had a problem with the address itself.

“Do you really think that’s appropriate?”  This was said as if I had played a joke on her and she didn’t think it was funny.

“What?”

“Hot mail.”

I explained Microsoft & MSN came up with that name, not me, and it didn’t mean anything risque.  We got through it.  And on to facebook.  Yes, facebook.  She has 23 friends and counting.

But as much as she loves email and facebook, she really, really loves “the google”.

The what??????

The GOOGLE.  Where do I find the google????????

Maybe the dog took it.

(love you, Mom)
