You Can't Teach Old Dogs New Tricks
Sentence
I tried to teach GrandMa how to use the computer several times already,
it seems we can't teach old dogs new tricks anymore.
Explanation
people who find it difficult to learn new things, or adjust to new ways or ideas
Origin
This is an old proverb. Animal trainers have known for years that it's easier
to train an animal while they're young, and not too set in its ways, as older
animals who likes doing things a certain way seem to resist new methods.
