Please Make It End

(My dad is, for lack of a kinder term, a techno-idiot. He has finally consented to attempt to learn to use a computer, so my mom gets a laptop for the house.)

Dad: *walks toward me holding the laptop like a dead animal* “How do I turn it off?”

Me: “Go to the start menu and click ‘Shut down’.”

Dad: “I have to go to start to make it end?!”
