I translate different things to certain people of my family. We do not speak another language, but there are always things that are misunderstood. I find myself translating computer and internet jargon for my mother often. I try to explain that she should not put her name, email, and phone number into every prompt for it on the internet. I had to show her about ten times how to log on to her Yahoo! email account. She figured out how to blog about four months ago. I find myself explaining trends and concerts to my father. I give my dad medical advice. He apparently did not realize that soy sauce is bad for his high cholesterol.
