My dad can't work his DVD player. We got him an external one for his computer - that he can work fine. lol
My mom has one of those phones that is voice activated. She is standing in my living room one day going, "Call Jessie," and the phone is saying, "Calling Debbie," and my mom is yelling, "No, Jessie! Jessie!" It was like something off a bad sitcom.
See, I have the opposite problem from being far away and missing them - 85% of my family lives within an hour of us. I don't just mean siblings/parents, but like cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, second cousins, the whole deal.
My mom is just lonely, I keep trying to get her to join a book club or something.
Which reminds me, I need to call my dad. I heard a joke yesterday and one thing you can always count on with dad is that he likes a good joke. ;)
