Keep it Simple
I learned something from my mother last night. When our baby is old enough to talk and ask questions, I am going to have to learn to explain everything. My mother bought my niece a Tag reading system for Xmas. Since my parents have DSL and you have to download the books onto the Tag pen, my mother gave me the stuff so that when Maddie opens the gifts on Xmas, she can play with them right away. The issue my mom had was she didn’t understand how the books got on the pen. I explained that we download them onto the pen. My dad tried explaining that its like recording on a VHS tape, but she still didn’t understand how they got on the pen. When my husband finally entered the conversation, he figured out what my mom didn’t get. He asked if there was a USB cord to download the information and my mom went “oh—I thought you would just lay the pen next to the computer and the pen would just absorb it.” Its something that I forget if you don’t use a computer, you don’t know that you use a USB cord to download. But it did give us all a good laugh!
