Well, I wasn't worried when my son bought a computer. After all lots of children
have parents who don't understand computers. But when my secretary asked me for a
computer in the office, I really became worried. So I decided to take some lessons in
computing and my son became my teacher. He's very helpful. He invited me to sit down
in front of the computer screen, which I did not know to call it. When I asked him what it
was, he said that it was VDU. I still didn't know what VDU was, but I was too shy to ask
him any more. From that moment my memory refused to learn because he told me a lot
of things that I really didn't understand at all. After a few lessons I began to feel tired. I
made an excuse, saying that I was having a headache. I suggested we should leave the
lesson until another day. Since then I haven't said anything about the computer to my son
and my secretary.
