My teacher said not to tell anyone my password

So, my dad decided to take computer lessons with his friends so that he could learn to type and do 'paperwork' on the computer. He wanted to get the most out of his money so he asked to borrow my laptop so that he could practice during the day. After putting a password on my account (it's safer for everyone that way), I made him his own account. One day I came downstairs and saw that he was clearly upset because the computer wasn't cooperating. I decided i'd bite and ask him what was wrong.

Dad: I can't log into my email
Me: Do you have the caps lock on?
Dad: I know that button. It makes the letters big. No, it's not on.
Me: Type it again, maybe you spelled it wrong
(Dad types with ONE finger...lol...so it takes some time...and still doesn't work)
Me: Here, I'll log you into your email
Dad: No. I'm not telling you my password
Me: Dad, really? Like i'm going to go and read your emails
Dad: No, my teacher said never tell anyone your password
Me: Dad, you can't log in. Just let me type it in for you.
Dad: No, i'm not telling you. I'm going to get it.

He carries on and after another 5 tries is able to log in. I leave him alone to check his email and do his thing. I come back a few hours later to check my email. My Dad was practicing emailing and typing by sending us all emails so I had one from him. As I was reading my emails I noticed that there were a whole bunch of papers on the table with my Dad's writing on them. Leaning closer I realized that I was staring at the email that my Dad had sent me...and my brother...and my sister. My Dad had actually written outall his emails on paper before typing them! Lol. And he was worried about giving me his password!

The Radio

My Dad loves to listen to the radio but only the news talk type of stations. He will frequently tell me, my siblings, extended family and my friends news/stories that he has heard that relates to them. For example, one of my friends is a teacher so when she came over he told her all about the kid that got caught making a bomb. This story wasn't relevant for her because he got caught making it in school but my Dad thought she should know because as a teacher she needs to know what to teach kids in school (don't make bombs because that is bad).

Anyways, one day I came home from work and he goes to me:

Dad: Guess what I heard on the Indian radio today?
Me: *rolling my eyes* I don't know, what?
Dad: A new way of washing dishes.
Me: ok, let me guess, a new way to conserve water?
Dad: No, to make a sponge from the bags that onions come in. The netting on them works perfectly to wash the dishes. Look on the counter...I made you some to use.
Me: Looking on the counter....
Dad: Now we don't have to waste the onion bags or money on dish sponges.

I've attached a picture because i'm sure if you didn't see it, you wouldn't believe it!

I can....fax!

My Dad decided this year to learn how to use a computer. He doesn't necessarily get how to use technology (especially if it goes beyond the power on and power off cateogry). It's so bad that he had to write down the steps from changing the tv from dvd to tv (and then the steps to playing a dvd in a 5 player system). Knowing his history with technology I was happy when he decided to learn how to use a computer from someone outside the family. Here is a conversation from day 1 of learning how to use the computer.

Me: Dad, did you learn a lot today?
Dad: (who is very excited) Yes, I learned how to ...
Me: Turn a computer on and off?
Dad: Yes, that and I also learned how to.... ( he can't think of the word)
Me: Learned how to... type?
Dad: Yes, but i'm not fast like you.
Me: See, Dad, that's what University taught me **not, that's what msn taught me**
Dad: I can learn, I just need to practice. I know what I learned. I learned how to get the fax out of the computer.
Me: LOL, Dad, you don't get faxes out of a computer. You mean you learned how to print something.
