Explaining Apple products to your grandparents might be one of the most frustrating things on Earth. First they don’t remember their password to open the damn thing, then they realize they don’t have their glasses on and they need to go get them so they can read the screen. My Grandpa has gotten a lot better with Apple products over the past few months. We bought him an Ipad for his emails and facetime. He can do very basic things on his Ipad and every now and then will call and ask how to do something we’ve already taught him before. My Grandma on the other hand, has no concept of how any electronic other than a flip phone works. She thought the other day that only one person could talk on facetime at a time- so after my grandpa was done talking to us and handed her the ipad, she hung up and called us again since it was now HER turn to facetime. I don’t really mind these little tiffs with them, though. Any time spent with them is precious to me and in the end, I’m really just glad that in times like this that we can facetime them. They have been very lonely during the quarantine, especially because they really can’t go out because of their age. We haven’t been able to go see them either because my dad still goes out to work every day and we don’t want to end up getting them sick accidentally. Hopefully this all blows over soon.
