Wired Up

Klez-Mom sits in front of dad's laptop, which she just removed from the laptop case.
She looks at me, sitting with my laptop, which is plugged into a power cord.

Confused, Klez-Mom looks at me a minute longer. She looks back at dad's laptop. Then back at me.
"Hey...why aren't I wired up?"

My eyeballs roll into the back of my head.

Klez-Mom,
"It won't work unless it's wired up, right? I mean, you're wired up, why aren't I?"
