For those of you know me, I have a brother in his early teens. I also have two parents who aren't super tech savvy and/or process oriented. I adore them immensely - but that's the reality. Anyway, in the past two weeks - here are some of the things they've said to me:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brother: "Didi*, you know that its in the sky right? Which means its not in your computer."
Me: "You mean the cloud"
Brother: "No Didi*, its the sky. Don't you know anything?"
Me: Quietly thinking: "Wow, I work in SaaS, and here he is telling me what its called"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom: "R, I don't care about the process at all. Just get it done with the results I want"
Me: quietly thinking: "wow...no more work dramas for her"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mom (who newly just got an Android Phone): Excitedly "R, thanks for sending my itinerary. Did you know you can get emails on your phone these days?"
Me: "yes mom. I'm glad you got my email"
Mom: "I had 50 unread emails. They were from your wedding**! Thanks for those"
Me: "Wow Mom, you need to check your email more. And you don't need to thank me for emailing you"
Mom: "Who knew you could get emails on your phone?"
Me: complete silence
Oh parents.
*: Didi is an Indian term to show respect for an older sister.
**: My wedding was over 3 years ago, which means these emails were from when I was engaged which was over 4 years ago.
