Pink

daughter:“Dad, I made a PowerPoint presentation today.”
(head):“fuckin' Microsoft.”
me:“Wow, that's impressive. Did you have any trouble?”
daughter:“No, not really. OK, I had little trouble Googling for pink.”
me:“Why was that hard. Didn't you go to google and type 'pink'?”
daughter:“Yeah, I did, but it only found things about Pink. You know, the artist?”
(head):“This conversation is going last much longer than it should.”
me:“OK”
daughter:“She sings the song, 'Stupid Girls'”
me:“Yeah, I know.”
daughter (singing):“Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls...”
(head):“OMG.”
me:“Yes. I know the song.”
daughter:“I think she was married to that motocross guy.”
(head):“Faster please.”
me:“Right. Carey Hart. Got it. Where are you going with this?”
daughter:“Oh, well I wanted to have pink as my background.”
me:“So, what was the trouble?”
daughter:“I told you, I only got things about Pink the artist.”
me:“Right, we've been through this.”
daughter:“Well, I wanted pink the color.”
me:“You're kidding right?”
daughter:“No, for real, I wanted a pink background but it wouldn't let me pick the color, so I thought I would go get a pink picture from the internet.”
me:“A picture of the color pink.”
daughter:“Right, but I couldn't find any.”
(head):“...don't say anything JC, you'll just hurt her feelings...”
me:“What else did you do today?”

  1. Maybe if she had googled for "pink background" she'd have gotten the results she desired.

    It's good these kids have me to help with their computer problems. You know, I took the TechEd class, so I'm like Bill Gates now.

    You're welcome.
