the revolution starts in a sea of paper cups

Oh mom.

  • Context- telephone conversation about wedding dresses with my mother.
  • Mother: I found this wedding gown on ebay for 19.99 and I think that you might really like it. How do I send you the picture for it?
  • Me: Well, you can just send me the link. That'll be the easiest way.
  • Mother: How do I do that?
  • Me: Um.. well, mom. You click up on the bar where you type in a website. Then when the whole website name is highlighted you press Control and C at the same time.
  • Mother: Ok it didn't work nothing happened.
  • Me: No, nothing was supposed to happen yet. Now go to my email and open up a new message to me. Now press Control and V at the same time.
  • Mother: Oh okay I see it now.
  • After moments of no new email, my mother proceeded to read me the entire description of the dress, thereby discovering it was not even an option after all. Fail. No 19.99 ebay wedding gown for me.
