M: Oh! Another call from my grandmother!
W: What's wrong? I love talking to my grandmother! She's an artist and tells really funny stories!
M: Oh, I love talking to my grandmother, too, usually! She just moved from New York City down here to Washington D.C. And I'm happy to have her here in Washington D.C. I love my grandmother! She's a wonderful person. My problem is I spent six hours on Saturday and five hours on Sunday at her apartment trying to teach her how to use her new electronic gadgets. I set up her telephone, Internet, TV, and DVD player. But she refuses to try and learn and she gets really confused. She just has no idea how to make any of them work.
W: Oh, I see. My Aunt Patricia was the same. She didn't really want to learn — so it took six lessons plus nine phone calls to learn basic email! — how to open and close an email, how to attach a document!
M: Yes, my grandmother is like that, too. She refuses to learn. My grandfather always took care of all the electronic items – and since he passed away two years ago, she has to handle them by herself.
W: OK, I have an idea! You need to get her liking electronic gadgets. Why not get her one of those video games made for families and kids. I bought my grandfather a Wii. He loves it. I got it all set up. The games are easy and fun! These days, he spends hours playing Wii golf.
M: My grandmother used to love tennis. Wii tennis. Um ... Great idea!
