5. I kid you not...
my father actually woke me up out of a sound sleep because he accidentally turned the TV off via the cable box and did not know how to turn it back on. (He's even called me at school when he's done that as well) That and he has immense trouble programming a VCR, and the computer...forgetaboutit! No matter how many times I explain that stuff he will never get it and because of that I get frustrated and start yelling. If he's this bad at 48, I can't even imagine what he will be like at 70! oy!
