Last year, my mother decided it was time for her to get a new laptop and I volunteered (as a tribute) to help her on this quest in a local tech store. We were slowly walking around the shop in circles, gazing at all the shiny objects but unable to figure out what she needed vs. what looked good. Luckily we got rescued by an eager pimply employee and a laptop meeting my moms standards was found within minutes.
I tried to ask some more question to make sure this was the shiny object she needed but I was interrupted by my mother, who turned to the guy and asked -in a way that would make Ron Weasly proud- '...but...can there be internet...on the laptop...?'
She was serious. Needless to say she caught the poor guy off guard with this deep question. While he needed some seconds to regroup, I on the other hand completely lost my cool and couldn't stop laughing until we left the store minutes later -with the laptop.
