Skype call

Mom: Have you lost weight?
A.: [Shrug]
Mom: Can you hear me?
A.: Yes, I can hear you.
Mom: Well?
A.: I don't weigh myself regularly, mom, so I don't know.

***
Mom: Avast! is telling me my trial period has expired.
A.: You bought the updated version, mom.
Mom: Well, that's what it's saying.
A.: Check your e-mail for the confirmation.
Mom: When?
A.: Last week of December.
Mom: Then what?
A.: Forward it to me, I suppose.

It's not that I'm too impatient to help mom with her computer stuff. It's that it's very difficult to do remotely at her level of computer literacy. Which isn't bad. But it's bad enough that I can't exactly guide her from here.
