1. Some Battery Problem
Situation: Two years ago, I gave M my old smartphone (bought in 2015), and the battery has been showing early sign of impending death.
M: Hi kid, there is a battery on that desk.
Me: (looking at the desk and battery, it was a brand of Advan) Yes, what about it?
M: Could you change the battery in my smartphone with that one?
Me: Mom, your smartphone brand is Smartfren, the battery brand is Advan.
M: So? We couldn't use it?
Me: We might as well use Energizer if it were possible
2. Smartphone Acquisition Plan
M: When are you planning to buy a new smartphone?
Me: Oh, I don't know. Mine is relatively new, just bought it in 2017. Why?
M: If you buy a new one, can I use yours?
Me: Why don't you buy a new one if you need it?
M: I don't really need a brand new smartphone.
3. When The WiFi Died
Situation: I forgot to pay the Internet bill and then it was blocked (yeah, my bad, I totally forgot).
M: I think my smartphone is in error. I can't use WhatsApp. I think we should buy a new one.
Me: Chill, Mom. It's just the Internet stop operating because I forgot to pay.
M: Oh.
4. Or When They Accidentally Turned Off WiFi On Their Smartphones
D: I think my smartphone is in error. I can't use WhatsApp.
Me: Give me your smartphone, let me have a look. See, you turned off the WiFi, that's why. Nothing is wrong.
D: Oh it must be M who turned that off.
M: (suddenly appeared) How did you know I did it? I think it was you who did it. (fighting mode on)
Me: (quietly made my exit)
5. When They Found A Universe Called YouTube
Situation: Somehow, both of my parents learned how to open YouTube.
M: Did you know that xxx did xxx (insert anything that is hoax)?
Me: Mom, you know that everything on Internet is not always right, right?
M: It's not?
Me: I mean, you should always check if it's accurate or not.
M: But how?
Me: You can cross check those on Google.
