One thing I love about my parents is their timeless wisdom. You know, those nuggets of advice that make you go, "Is this profound or just really confusing?" My dad, for instance, loves to drop gems like, "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs." I'm like, "Dad, I just asked if you wanted breakfast." And my mom's all about the cryptic fortune cookie wisdom. "The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." What does that even mean, Mom? Should I be waking up early or sleeping in? Is the cheese a metaphor for success or just a late-night snack?
In the end, it doesn't matter. Whether they're giving tech advice, navigating the neighborhood, mastering social media, or dropping wisdom bombs, our parents keep life interesting. They're the original stand-up comedians, unintentionally delivering punchlines in the sitcom of our lives.

Let's talk about parental GPS for a moment. My parents have this incredible ability to get lost in places they've lived for decades. You'd think they were explorers in uncharted territory, discovering the wilds of the neighborhood. "Honey, I found a hidden gem called 'The Grocery Store.' They have these amazing things called 'bananas'!" But here's the kicker – the GPS on their phones is practically a foreign language. It's like watching someone try to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. My mom will look at her phone and go, "It says turn left in 500 feet. Is that before or after the big tree?"
And don't get me started on my dad's sudden love affair with voice commands. It's a symphony of confusion. "Siri, take me to the doctor's office." Siri responds, "Did you mean the dry cleaners?" Close enough, Siri. Close enough.

You ever notice how our parents turn into tech experts the moment something goes wrong with the computer? It's like they've secretly been attending a master class in computer troubleshooting while we weren't looking. My mom, for instance, thinks hitting the keyboard harder will magically fix everything. I'm waiting for the day she suggests giving it a good old-fashioned scolding. And then there's my dad, the self-proclaimed IT guru. He's the guy who asks, "Did you try turning it off and on again?" for any tech-related issue. I could tell him my car broke down, and he'd probably say, "Well, did you try turning it off and on again?" Dad, it's not a computer, it's a vehicle!
I love them to bits, but when it comes to technology, it's like watching a comedy of errors. I half expect them to break out a hammer and chisel to fix the WiFi. "Back in my day, we carved our internet signals out of stone tablets!

Parents and social media – it's a match made in awkward status update heaven. My dad, for example, discovered hashtags recently. Now, every post of his reads like a secret code. #LovelyDay #IsThisThingOn #WhyWon'tItPost? And then there's my mom's fascination with emojis. I swear, she thinks every message is incomplete without a parade of smiley faces, hearts, and thumbs up. I sent her a text saying I got a promotion, and she replied with a dancing cat emoji. Thanks, Mom, for capturing the essence of a career milestone with a feline cha-cha.
But hey, they mean well. It's just a whole new world for them – a world where the like button doesn't require a magnifying glass to find.
