the aunts are were back in town for some super family gathering and there were many generation gap conversations swirling around, causing me to snigger coffee out my nose. random tech-impaired conversations. didn’t know to laugh or cry.

70+ grandaunt: actually, what’s the difference between an iphone and a blackberry?
50+ aunt: no difference wan la. only different brand, that’s all.

so tay says i should be damn proud that my grandaunt doesn’t think blackberry is a kind of jam or cake.

40+ aunt: macbook not nice la. macbook pro better.
me: i don’t really like how the MBP looks though.
40+ aunt: but it’s better! you can do that scroll scroll thingy with your fingers.
me: … you can do that on all macs!
40+ aunt: noway… since when? just recently right?

no la, they can’t really. april fools!

and one really old one for the road.

40+ aunt: i need to get a new camera. i need more megapixels.
me: actually megapixel count doesn’t matter [bla bla bla bla bla]
40+ aunt: but i need it. and i also need a camera that zooms.
me: oh ok. you plan to print? lemme have a look.
aunt’s current camera resolution set to 640×480
me: what. is. this? why you set so low?!
40+ aunt: ohhh… want to post on facebook only la.

yes, i know. technically, they’re not mum. but the FOB theme is still there wut.
