My Mother Did Not Invent the Internet

My mother, God love her, did not invent the Internet. I say this because well, when it comes to anything online mom isn't the most eager to hop on the latest trend.

Though she did ask me what "a Facebook" was and could she get one.

Don't get me wrong, mom is very talented. She can make a 7 course meal out of tree bark and if I ever get married again, I'm sure she'll sew me a dress using nothing more than scraps of old cloth and dish towels that will rival the gown Princess Diana wore.

I've been trying to get my mom off of her onsie-twosie emails of what she needs during my trip, meaning that she'll send me one email, then another, then another.

So I tried the Google Docs experiment.
It wasn't pretty.

So, I set up the doc in Google, and email her the link with an explanation of what she can do with it.
The first time she didn't know what the link was and she deleted it.
I sent it again.
This time she wrote:
"What will I do with something like that?? I'd rather have a piece of paper..."

OK, mom you win.

Internet 0
Mom 1

*sigh* this might be a long trip :)
