She handed me her iPhone (blank screen) and said, "Call them."

1) I didn't know how to turn the phone on.

2) After she turned it on, I still didn't know how to use it.

3) After she talked me through making the call, I didn't know how to disconnect the call when it was time to hang up.

4) I didn't know how to turn the phone off – or even if I needed to.

Thankfully my niece and nephew weren't there since 7- and 8-year-olds know it all and enjoy mocking their technology-impaired elders.
