My dad’s ancient printer stopped working. Shocking.

I came over to fix it for him. It was just unplugged halfway. I swear that printer will never die.

The other fun thing about helping my dad with computer issues is he has a keyboard with giant keys because his vision is poor. It’s so awkward trying to type something with his enormous keyboard.
