Let me rephrase that. Yesterday I sought help from him on proper semicolon usage; he just shrugged.

My nephew is extremely tech savvy but was stumped by a rotary phone.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

When I was a kid in CA we had a push button phone. When I visited my grandparents in a small town in Kansas I always liked using their rotary phone. Thankfully you only had to dial the last 4 numbers when calling another town number.
