The Post About My Parents' Kryptonite

These two are winsome and wise. Combined, they have more than 80 years in the workforce and 40 years as parents. They know a thing or two about almost everything.

It's not their first time at most rodeos.

However, like every great superhero, there is a vulnerability. An Achilles' heel that, if left unchecked, will eventually be their downfall.

The Internet.

Exhibit A Conversation:

Mom: I've opened a Facebook account so I can know what's going on with the family since that's how everyone seems to communicate. 

Me: Great! I bet you'll love it!

Mom: However, I've opened my account as your father, so look for a friend request from Charles Golden.

Me: Why didn't you create your own profile?

Mom: I just don't think it's safe on social media for a woman by herself.

Exhibit B Conversation:

While showing him funny things on the web via my iPhone...

Dad: (chuckling to himself) I saw a link for a hilarious vacation message used on someone's work email.

Me: Really! How fun! What did it say?

Dad: I don't remember.

---------pause----------

Me: That was an amazing story Dad. You should tell that at parties.

Dad: (grumpy face) Well, I thought you could look it up on that piece of junk phone of yours.

Me: My bad.

What's your kryptonite? Is there anything you try, but can't seem to master?

I'll confess first in the comments.
